.There is a mystery . In his notes the Professor described fossils of sponges. When I visited the British Library a few weeks ago, although I found coral fossils, I was unable ro find any fossilised sponges. There will be a prize for the first person to find the sponge fossils. Please bring with you a magnifying glass and a bottle of water to wet the stones to make the fossils clearer.
My thanks to Diana Clements of the The Geologists’ Association for visiting the site with me and helping me to identify the fossils .
