Sopwith Model II: Coal strata nr Newcastle
Unlike the models of generic situations this representation of coal strata was specific to a particular surveyed location in England showing several thin, and mostly hidden, coal seams. Thomas Sopwith (1803 - 1879) was an eminent geologist and civil engineer who pioneered methods of representing geological features. This set of wooden models were designed to represent geological situations with faults, folds, inclines and strata that were particularly relevant to the mining industry

The coal strata, carved from wood, is an intricate representation of the geological features of this region during the 19th century. Thomas Sopwith (1803-1879), an esteemed geologist and civil engineer, pioneered the creation of such models to illustrate geological situations, particularly those relevant to the mining industry. The model displays several thin, mostly hidden coal seams, providing a unique insight into the complex layering of sedimentary rock. The intricate carvings reveal the presence of faults, folds, and inclines, all denuded by erosion over time. This educational tool was essential for understanding the geological history of the area and aiding in the extraction of coal. Sopwith's models were groundbreaking in their accuracy and detail, contributing significantly to the field of geology and stratigraphy. The model's Victorian-era design, with its white background and wooden construction, adds to its historical significance and charm.
