The Ipswich Society has put a blue plaque for Elizabeth Knipe Cobbold on the stable block in Holywells Park in Ipswich. This Georgian scientist lived here and collected fossil molluscs from the Red Crag on her estate (now Holywells and Landseer Parks). She sent specimens to James Sowerby in London and he published them between 1814 and 1824 in the Mineral Conchology, the first comprehensive publication on British fossils. For more information see Suffolk Naturalists' Society Transactions 2020.
What is the answer to The Question on Ipswich Waterfront? For geologists it is dolerite from Uruguay and marble from Portugal - find out more in our new leaflet. Take a walk through geological ages in Suffolk's county town to see sandstone from Nottinghamshire; limestone from Dorset; local sarsen stone and much more - download Discover GeoIpswich.
Springs and seepages are part of our County Geodiversity Site in Christchurch Park, Ipswich. For news on all of our CGS see GeoSuffolk Times 62.
This historic site was monitored by GeoSuffolk for Natural England last week. It was here that two distinctive beds of shelly crag sand were recognised, to which the names Coralline Crag and Red Crag were gven in 1837. The cliff is on private ground and protected as an SSSI, but inspection of the shore at low tide reveals pieces of fossil shell and phosphate nodules - reminders of this site's history.
A recent visit to Leiston confirmed the Long Shop well CGS is in good condition. The log on the wall is well worth studying. There are beds of shells within the Crag, cementstones in the London Clay and bands of flint within the Chalk - wonderful stratigraphy beneath your feet! The well and continuing borehole are below the grille. For opening times and charges see the Long Shop Museum web site.
