Spittal - Previous UK Fossils Events and Reports including fossil finds

Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at Spittal Quarry

2nd July 2003

Day 5 - 2nd July 2003

On the Fifth day of our Geological Tour of Scotland, we visited Spittal Quarry, a working quarry of the Caithness Flagstones similar to those of Achanarras except the lower beds. A few fish fragments were collected from spoil heaps but unfortunately the zones that are being currently quarried are not deep enough for any good samples to find and split.
