| Portland Screw Fossils in Portland Stone |
Nerea has delivered news of a geography field-trip next June to the
Jurassic Coast in Dorset. On hearing this, I was immediately transported back many years to my own field-trip days. We never went to Dorset but we did go to the geologically stunning Yorkshire cliffs at
Runswick Bay. All that measuring, chipping and paddling about was wonderful. Nerea’s trip includes a visit to
Portland, where geologically rich stone has been excavated since Roman times. The distinctive white building stone, housing millions of fossils, can be seen gracing public buildings and monuments all over the world. She’ll be totally amazed
