The trip was very good
Sun, 10/12/2008 - 11:56The trip was very good yesterday - lots of fossil finds and it was good to re-visit a locality we've not been to for a good few years. We were unfortunately visiting in the middle of a hunting shoot and were moved off a locality that was in the middle of a hunt, but that didn't let the whole day down!
Some pictures below and a fieldtrip review will follow shortly

Submitted by Jon on Wed, 10/08/2008 - 20:18.Hi All,
Katie and I are off to the Pentland Hills this weekend (Saturday, the 11th of October). We're off fossil hunting for Silurian critters such as trilobites, bivalves, etc. See here for more details: http://www.pentlandhills.ukfossils.co.uk/
If anyone would like to come along, please do so! There's a pub on the right-hand side as you head south on the A702 from Edinburgh and a car park just after it on the left:

and:

We'll be walking up to Deerhope Burn and looking Deerhope formation.
We'll meet in the car park at 11am. We'll try to be early, but do wait around if we're not there
Email or PM me if you are coming along and I will give you my contact details.
Geologists are gneiss!!
