Calli99 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Me and my boyfriend went for a walk in the nearby Aristide and Silverdale area of outstanding natural beauty a few weeks ago. We are both at uni in Lancaster so have been enjoying walks in the Lake District and nearby. I wanted to visit Jack Scout as a dissertation topic I was thinking about was related to the local geology of the area. I was not expecting to find loose fossils, and was paying close attention to the limestone rocks and pavement for fossils in situ until my boyfriend came up with a ‘funny rock’ to check with me and lo and behold, an impromptu fossil hunt began. Nothing is of great quality and I have found it very hard to find much literature on the area so nothing is really identified. But it is a truly beautiful area and a fun walk. I believe these fossils are from the Park Limestone formation of Jack Scout, there is lots of Carboniferous limestone deposited around 325-360 MYA. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I've heard that you can email photos to yourself and have your smart phone (assuming that's what you are using) shrink them in size. Then you should be able to post several images at a time. Just keep replying to your post if you wish to add more and run up against a limit. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
