Went for a walk and noticed some of the big chunks of sandstone that had been used to edge a carpark had fossils in them! Possibly Triassic, although not sure as they aren't in situ. One looks like it has Glossopteris leaves, which leads me to believe they may actually be Permian. Some look like lepidodendron/lycopod type stems, others are just a mash up of fragments. Thoughts, comments etc. all welcome!
