Amazing experience this weekend, descending 365 feet into the main chamber at Gaping Gill in the Yorkshire Dales. Breathtaking.

These gorgeous fossils are Stigmaria, the roots of enormous tree-like plants that lived over 300 million years ago! I found these ones on Blast Beach at Seaham, where the spoil heap from an old coal mine is being eroded by the sea!

18 months ago I filled a jar with soil and plants whose ancestors would have been common in North East England around 360 million years ago. This is the result. Welcome, to Carboniferous Park! 🌿
