Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at Radstock
12th October 2004

After the first poor couple of days in Somerset we needed a location that could guarantee some superb finds. Of course that location was Radstock after the huge success of our 2002 trip. Once again, this disused quarry is full of excellent specimens. We also have taken several very large samples back for splitting, the plant beds at Radstock are packed full with remains with over a hundred different species to be collected. These samples will be taken back to our UKF laboratory for analysis and because of their size, has good potential of some superb specimens. In spite of the good finds made, we did plan to visit several other quarries around Radstock, but unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worst and torrential rain made it impossible to collected as the specimens would simply break apart.
