If you go to the beaches around Newcastle, Australia, expect to find many glossopteris fossils!

These are some fossil glossopteris leaves from different beaches around the Newcastle area. The rocks they are found in tend to be very hard to break, but yield lovely fossils. Good luck! :)

Love those ’straya glossopteris, such color!
