Chip off the old block

Nepotism would appear to stalk the hallowed halls of the Geological Society of London. The current issue of the society's magazine Geoscientist contains a feature on Portland stone lavishly illustrated by a cover image of the Pulpit Stone at Portland Bill in Dorset. Usually, the cover picture is taken by sub-editor Ted Nield, but close inspection reveals that this particular image was captured by his father, Ted Nield senior.
