Where to look for Fossils at Offerton?


(Collecting is best at the top of the formation on the fairly tall scree slope) - 2004

There are two main cliff sections at Offerton, the first is a tall scree slope with exposures to the top, the second is an indented cliff section along the stream bed. This contains little scree. At the top of the tall scree slope, there are lots of well preserved plants, especially ferns. These tend to be a yellow/brown colour and are mostly complete. The section main cliff section contains black/dark shale's, with mainly broken plants. Huge trunks and roots dominate much of these beds, but a few nice specimens can still be collected here.
