Hi Dan,

Any chance of joining you?. If not you might be lucky and find some or all of the following dependant on what formations are exposed: Belemnite (lots), Ammonite Rieneckia, Kosmoceras etc, Gryphea (bucket loads), Pleisiosaur/Icthysoar, Echinoid, Mammoth, Deer........If its anything like the pits which were open over the last few years it should be good.

Regards,

Hi Gary, I know that it's very unlikely but couldn't it be possibly identified because Mr Polly's was worn as well. Also the cells are much larger tha normal, what could this indicate?

like i said before. i think there is a more to it than the one sided view taken by nocky. I was told this huge hole was dug by academics with the consent of scottish heritage and the land owner to re-open george rae's original trenches with a view to mapping the section and obtain new fossil material for research and study.

Which to me seems all above board. Except nocky appears to be distraught and that they should not be doing this.

Hi Nocky...I don`t know the area that well at all but how could anyone get machinery up there without being seen?.

I parked my car on the grass verge next to entrance to South Threave Farm,maybe there is another easer access?

I hope they catch them, they spoil it for everyone.

Cheers Cabby

Hello cabby just a we note--there are a lot good fossils from the Starfish beds in the Hunterian museum,and if you notice many of them were collected by George Rae.

George did a lot of good field work at the Starfish beds, when I knew he was mapping out the actual

beds and surrounding mudstones, there was nothing he did not know about the beds and the fossils

that were in them.George before he died he gave all his fossil collection to the Hunterian museum.

On the wall as you look north you will see a plaque that was put there by people who knew him.

If George rae was still alive there would'nt be a huge hole dug.

yours NOCKY
