How much joy can one fossil find bring?











 

Palaeoartists

Today we decided that the collective noun for a group of Palaeoartists was a reconstruction.

Today our back yard hosted such a reconstruction when Peter and Gayle Trusler came to visit today.

Plants!

 Jack and Miriam reprised their plant talk for the crew…





Victoria Sponge

Our lovely neighbour Doreen made us a Victoria Sponge.

Ruby and Sachi decorated it!

I think they wish we found fewer turtles….

Wednesday 27 February

Tom found a fossil but it was a bit fragile so I forgot
to take a happy smiling fossil finding photo before wrapping it.
Here he is with a proxy - one of Mary’s finds 

Some of our fossils got wet in the storm.
Doris set them out to dry.
Anyone else thinks it looks like a pet cementary?
