Redcar Rocks! A Quick Guide To The Geology Of Redcar

[@paleo1019]

Glad to see you back my dude! ❤

[@geolyn]

Missed you! I had no idea Redcar was so interesting.....

[@geologyjohnson7700]

Thanks. It's a pretty neat place. You can get fish & chips and an ice cream, then have a quiet stroll and look at the fossils.

Crinoids 😍

I have those samples in my collection still.

I've got a chunk of what looks like Scottish mica schist that I found all the way down south on Brighton beach. I've often wondered if it could have got there by some natural process or if it was just dropped there by a human.

[@geologyjohnson7700]

Could be both. I'm not sure if the glaciers got that far south. May have also come from Cornwall too. There's even a bit of schist in western Devon around the Start peninsular.

​@@geologyjohnson7700Devon or Cornwall do sound a lot more likely than The Western Isles... much less of an arduous journey. :)
