Fossil Brachiopod

It is our Ruby Wedding Anniversary On the 26th March and Mick took us here on a fossil hunt. We found several species of Brachiopods, some Coral, Crinoid ossicles and Bryozoans. These rocks are about 420 Million years old.

 

Wenlock Edge Shropshire Uk 24th March 2017

 

Several fossil photos to come over the next couple of days. Sadly no Trilobite bits.

 

I went on a Geology field trip to Wenlock Edge circa 1980 with the best teacher I ever had (Dave Sixsmith) The very first time I had been fossil hunting, it left me with a lifelong interest in Geology.
