The Welsh slate landscape is so incredibly special. I walked along the spoil tips bordering Penrhyn Quarry, the whispers from the abandoned blocks of slate were deafening! #WhispersOfRock

The rocks you can find here represent an old oceanic piece of crust that’s been obducted onto the continental crust during the Caledonian orogeny - I have a wee trip planned here for next Wednesday if anyone’s interested that involves looking at these rocks -

Sometimes Mother Nature does the prep work for you! This Siphonodendron coral was collected from a stream near Appletreewick in the Yorkshire Dales. The slightly acidic water has preferentially dissolved the limestone matrix, exposing the coral beautifully! #FossilFriday

Spotting fossils in the limestone of the Yorkshire Dales can be tricky due to all the lichens. A great place to look, however, is in stream beds! Check out these lovely little corals and crinoid stems we saw near Grassington #FossilFriday

It might be getting chillier out there but there are plenty of good finds to be had if you know where to look! Another brilliant walk out there with one fossil hunter even finding this beautiful fossilised shark's tooth, a real rarity on our beaches!
