Sometimes identifying sands & gravels in Norfolk & Suffolk is a real puzzle. So many different rock types are jumbled together. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether they are terrestrial or marine. Similar-looking sedimentary structures can can be generated in different environments. 🧵

The caput femoris ball of a fossil mammoth femur picked from the Waveney valley gravels today. Almost certainly Mammuthus meridionalis originating in the Crag, a near-shore marine deposit of Plio-Pleistocene age. Picture a dead animal floating out to sea. Hard bits remain, rolled around by tides.

Someone is holding the half ball-shaped head of a mammoth femur covered with sand.

The reverse side of a mammoth femoral head held by someone in a fluorescent vest. A heap of sand and gravel is visible in the background.

Pitted #fossil bone frags are common on #Suffolk UK beaches with #Pliocene Red Crag debris. Phosphorite nodules from the basal Crag are similarly pitted. Hypothesis: bioerosion by #siboglinid worms munching phosphate-rich substrates. Any thoughts? @thepalass.bsky.social @coastalpaleo.bsky.social

The NNNS and SNS are pleased to announce a joint conference

Recording for Nature Recovery
- How biological recording will benefit wildlife in crisis -

What will recording look like in 20 years’ time, and how can it support delivery of local nature recovery? We shall need to use all the means at our disposal to combat the biodiversity crisis.
The Conference will host an engaging variety of speakers who are working with new recording techniques, expanding the range of what it is possible to record and in doing so discovering new aspects of biodiversity. It will showcase what is currently possible, and hopefully inspire members to use new techniques in their exploration of nature.
Keynote Speaker Prof. Bill Sutherland (Emeritus, Cambridge) –
a full programme will follow nearer the time.

Saturday 10th October 2026 – 09:30 to 16:00
at Diss Corn Hall
All welcome, but advance booking is essential.
Tickets: General admission £20; NNNS/SNS members £15; Students £5
Booking will open later in the summer, but to help assess numbers please express an interest in tickets via https://sns.beaconforms.com/form/4eab5a62.
Light refreshments will be provided, but please bring a packed lunch.

Zeolites are a group of hydrated aluminoilicates which form within vesicles (gas bubble holes) in cooling mafic volcanic rocks e.g. basalt. Mineralogical analysis could say which of the many species of zeolite are present, so theoretically the source rock could be provenanced, e.g. in Scotland.
