Yorkshire Philosophical Society

Event Information

Stuart Ogilvy, deputy Curator of Geology at the Yorkshire Museum has, once again, agreed to take a party of members, young and old, to one of his favourite fossiliferous localities.We will meet outside the Information Office on the riverside opposite the station. From there we hope to work our way along the foreshore in an easterly direction. The whole area is fascinating geologically. Fossils are abundant, and the pits where jet was mined should be visible.

Transport
Family day trip by own transport or a lift

Further Information
The cost will be £6.00 per person, children go free. This covers administrative expenses and a small donation to the York Museums Trust. Wellies or stout footwear are recommended, as is waterproof clothing that you don’t mind getting wet or muddy (it has been known to rain). Bring a packed lunch, and something to take your specimens home in.
