Last week GeoSuffolk visited Harkstead CGS to monitor its condition - the cliff is in fine condition, but the lower shore had a noticeable covering of modern sediment. In the photograph blocks of the Harwich Stone Band litter the shore and may be seen exposed in the Eocene age clay in the cliff. Small patches of contorted gravel occur at the top of the cliff - these and other Pleistocene sands and silts may be seen at southern end of the cliff.
Yesterday GeoSuffolk members were condition monitoring at Newbourne Springs CGS - the Red Crag exposure, the flow of water and extensive seepage areas at this excellent site readily gained their usual GOOD condition status. And the photo? It is looking through the stream to the drifted fossil shells from the Crag carried by the flowing water.
Last week eight members of GeoSuffolk monitored the County Geodiversity Site at Orwell Country Park. The upturned blocks of septaria, trees clinging to the base of the cliff and the green line of seaweed show that this is an active geological site. The rock and the trees show that the land has moved in the not too distant past and the seaweed and beach shingle are regularly moved by each day's tides.

Covid-19 restrictions preclude us from organising a GeoWeek event this year. However, ‘The Suffolk Dragon’, GeoSuffolk’s latest addition (2020) to its leaflet library, is an ideal companion for self-guided GeoWeek outings.
