What Fossils can you find at Onny Trail?


(Trilobite Tail) - 2003

Along the trail, you can find trilobitess from the Silurian shales and brachiopods from the Ordovician rocks. These can be found in the riverbed at the first part of this walk. At the old cliff, t rilobites and the trace fossil Tentaculites sp, small screw like impressions are quite common. Around the disused railway cutting area, Ordovician brachiopods (in particular Heterorthis Alternata) are common along with more silurian and ordovician fossils from the river bed as similar to those that can be found in the first part of the walk.

The forth location along the walk yields brachiopods and bivalves but also gastropods and trilobites can also be found.
