I reduced the claim about first geological map as Robert Townson produced a map of Hungary in 1779 titled: New Map of Hungary, particularly its Rivers and natural Productions. It used colours to indicate different rock types such as granite, micaceous Schist, schist, limestone, sandstone, calcareous tufaporphyry and tuff. GB 12:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- rather 1797 than 1779 ? I get 1797 from [1], anyway it change nothing as the first Smith's map was from 1799. - phe 17:19, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tucking Mill House
Note that the house picture is not smith's house...check out book Simon Winchester, The Map That Changed the World: William Smith and the Birth of Modern Geology, (2001), New York: HarperCollins, ISBN 0-14-028039-1
Smith's house is actually another one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.217.86.14 (talk) 20:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- No, that look like the right house, Tucking Mill Cottages as said by Winchester is not the right house, a bit at east there is another house which is the one on this image, see [2] showing Tucking Mill Cottages and at east the right house, the roof and the entrance are recognizable. - phe 17:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Errm, you're right, that's not the correct house, see Stop 9. Tucking Mill or [3] - phe 09:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have changed the photo and caption for the correct house, per the information in Winchester's book, pp. 103-104. --DThomsen8 (talk) 19:43, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] His map
I have added a pic of a map based closely on smiths map and a pic of his fossils. Peterlewis (talk) 20:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] relationship to work of John Strachey (geologist)
Should there be more in the article on his debt to the work of John Strachey (geologist) as described here?— Rod talk 10:57, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
