Wren's Nest


I live near the lovely Wren's Nest national nature reserve so was very happy to learn (via discuss fossils) that a website with pictures of fossils collected there has been created by Geoff Broughton here:

It's well worth a look.

If you want to see the fossils in real life you can visit the Dudley Museum & Art Gallery, or the Lapworth Museum, or of course you could visit Wren's Nest itself. The picture is of the trilobite Calymene blumenbachii from Wren's Nest in the Dudley museum.

I have a set of photos taken at the Dudley museum on flickr here.

Hi Lukas, nice site - one small request - please correct 'loveley' to 'lovely' - it looks better because it's correct and as the spelling error is right at the start of your write-up, it has the effect of putting serious readers off.

My Wren's Nest fossils web site has now moved to http://www.geoffbroughton.talktalk.net/WrensNest/index.html
I must find time to update my identifications.
