Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at Newhay Quarry
4th September 2004
This is an extract from the 'UK Fossils LIVE in the Wigan Area 2004'
(click here for full report)

This UKF event was open to all, and everyone found at least one decent specimen. Our first trip was to 'Newhay Quarry', our leader, Brian Cook showed the team evidence of the 'Marine Band', where ripple marks can be seen throughout the quarry. Trace fossils such as the marks of fish which brushed the surface as they once swam past are also very common. There was plenty of Calamities for everyone to take back (Fossil roots), and members cracked open many nodules found at the bottom of scree scopes which often contained good brachiopod specimens. A couple of insect remains also recorded during our trip along with worm tubes.
