Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at Causey Pike

21st June 2004

Unfortunately due to vehicle breakdown, we have been limited to our local area, Causey Pike. We are hoping to visit Whitehaven tomorrow by Bus, but will be unable to visit South Scotland if our vehicle is not repaired. Causey pike has been the area in which fossil shrimps, trilobites have been found in recent years. The area which we covered can be seen from the first Aerial 3D photo at the top of this page, the GA Lake District guide covers this excursion which runs along the valley northwards from our basecamp, up and over Causey Pike (highest point on the left of the valley) and around Barrow (Right of the valley) and past Outerside (to the back of the valley). Today we found trace fossils and various minerals but very little else. Heavy Rain has also limited collecting once again.
