The Humber Stone - Glacial Erratic
The Humber stone is a Syenite glacial erratic brought here by ice between 478,000 and 424,000 years ago during the Anglian stage glaciation. Its original location was the Mountsorrel intrusions a few miles north, you can see the chimney of the quarry works from this site. The syenite is a granitic rock, formed when the Tornquist sea closed not long before the Caledonian Orogeny during the Ordovician/Silurian. A subduction zone was sited under the north sea with Avalonia being subducted and later colliding with Baltica. This produced a line of volcanic intrusions deep down running from the Lake District right down to here and even East Anglia. There is magnetic evidence for a pluton underneath the Wash. It is sited next to a roundabout on the Leicester outer ring road, it is signed and has an information board.
