| Quern stone and fossil frenzy | |
| Another day of soil removal and stones was brightened up this afternoon by a lovely fossil (yes, John Russell was on site) unearthed by Louise. John confirmed what we were all thinking - that it was a coral fossil class Rugosa, possibly Zaphrentis, from the Carboniferous period. Excitement rose to fever pitch soon after when Lesley discovered a marvellous quern stone fragment. This, plus more pottery, a jet bead and more fossils, along with lots more sunshine, made for another wonderful day at the Hagg. | |
