Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at Stockdale Beck

19th June 2004

Today's morning excursion is situated in the Stockdale Area. These were followed using the Geological Associations guide on 'The Lake District', also available direct from ourselves via UKGE, Code BK094. The first locality examined the Brathay Flag Formation. Within the Murchisoni zone, Graptolites where collected from Stockdale Beck. Samples were also taken back to base for further splitting and examination. Some of the graptolites where of excellent condition and well preserved for Ordovician mudstones.
