What better bugs to love than trilobites? While other stands at this Ipswich Museum event on February 21st showed butterflies and maggots, GeoSuffolk highlighted these favourites which were extinct long before the dinosaurs. We had to import them from Wales as such ancient rocks are inaccessible hundreds of metres below the fields of Suffolk.
Last week GeoSuffolk joined with the Suffolk & Essex National Landscape Work Party volunteers to refresh a Red Crag pit near Woodbridge. We cleared several faces and revealed this pebble bed full of phosphate nodules. 180 years ago a similar discovery at Felixstowe initiated the superphosphate fertiliser industry and helped to feed Britain. See GeoSuffok's Suffolk's Crag Coprolites leaflet for more.
