Tick-Tack-Toe

Recent storms caused by the "Beast from the East" have shifted tonnes of sand on Redcar beach revealing the remains of ancient woodland lost to the sea at the end of the last Ice Age. This SSSI site is believed by experts to have been part of Doggerland which existed until 5-6000 BC.

The "petrification" is caused by pore spaces within the wood being filled by minerals to give a "Stone-like" structure
