The Ross Formation & The Clare Shales
County Clare offers a truly outstanding opportunity to examine the formation, fill and closure of the Carboniferous sedimentary basin, and the wonderful outcrops, principally exposed in a series of breathtaking cliffs. This region has become an extremely popular area for geological study... for teaching, research and applied geology in the hydrocarbons industry.
Our Geological Boat Excursion is the best opportunity for your field trip to view the cliffs within the Mouth of the Shannon that show excellent exposures within the Ross Sandstone Formation and Clare Shales.
Professionally and knowledgeably skippered, you will get plenty of opportunities to sketch, photograph, teach and discuss the main features present at several localities.
Email or phone us for further information and with regard to pricing and booking.

“Last year we went dolphin watching with Dolphinwatch in Carrigaholt. This is a very professional operation and I was greatly impressed. There is great emphasis on safety, which is very reassuring. The employees were friendly, helpful and well-informed. The trip itself was excellent and great value for money. We also found the dolphins to be extremely friendly, courteous and helpful.”
