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.

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.
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.
