The fossil grove is an area containing the fossilised stumps of 11 Lepidodendron trees. These trees grew approximately 330 million years ago, during carboniferous period, when Scotland lay much further south, on the equator.
The trees were uncovered in 1887, while the nearby quarry was being converted into part of the park. The trees importance was quickly realised and a building was constructed over the top to protect them from the elements. They are now Glasgows most ancient tourist attraction.

Amelie for president. Agenda: Rid the university of all fossils– but does she mean ammonites, brachiopods and corals, or is she talking about retiring fossil professors?

Approximately 163 million years ago this was an ocean environment. The limestone deposited at that time, known as the Stump Formation, includes small clam-like fossils that are visible on the rock surface.
I've always loved beachcombing, and been fascinated by fossils but haven't ever really found any on the the beach before. A while ago I'd seen Fossil Hunting trips in Whitby (a couple of hours away) being advertised - we spent a few days in Whitby last year, but there were no trips running while we were there. I knew we were going back this April so I waited to see if there would be one while we were there, but sadly not.
Jack's interested in fossils too so I decided that for his birthday, I'd book us both onto a trip and just make the drive over specially. I'm so glad we did! We both found some great fossils (a bit gutted that I lost one of mine through a hole in my bag) including one that the group leader hammered open for Jack, who got to reveal what had been hidden inside for millions of years.
We did the trip with www.fossils-uk.com/whitby-fossil-hunting-trips/ - definitely recommend it, although be warned you have to cross some insanely slippery rocks (I have a bruise on my bum to prove just how slippery!)
