Led by the Professor Paul Wright, our intrepid adventurers journeyed through time, uncovering the secrets of the ancient world preserved in the area’s geology. From the 340-million-year-old Carboniferous sea floors, once home to thriving coral reefs, to the Jurassic beaches that concealed ammonites within the famous Blue Lias rock formations, there was no shortage of incredible discoveries to be made.
One of the highlights of the trip was witnessing evidence of a failed Atlantic Ocean formation dating back 200 million years. It was truly awe-inspiring to see how immense geological forces have shaped the South Wales coastline over millions of years.
Rockwatchers made their own fossil discoveries, finding devil’s toe nails and and other ancient treasures among the rocks..
A huge thank you to Professor Paul Wright for leading the expedition and sharing his expertise, and to all our Rockwatchers for joining in the fun. We can’t wait to go back!
