| Record Name | Scargill. Stang Forest. Massed trace fossils reported by Jackie Snow on surfaces of quarried sandstone by forest road. |
| Record Description | This Record is uploaded on the basis of information and photographs provided by Jackie Snow. These interesting fossils are probably plant remains, the linear tube like fossils may be roots of plants similar to the mangrove. The more elaborate trace fossils in image no 3 could be different parts of the same unidentified plants or alternatively but improbably, of echinoids.
NOTE! Quarries are dangerous places and if visited, Take Care. |
