(Footpath) - 2007

Look within the rocks that make up the path at the start of the walk to find trilobites. Please do not collect these.

Stream bank - rocks weathering out - (2007)

While following the stream within Betton Dingle, look out for blocks of shale weathering out of the stream banks. If these look grey or red, split them with a geological or brick-layer’s hammer. Trilobites and trilobite partials are mainly found on the red stained surfaces of these blocks when split.

It is also worth examining the rocks on the stream bed in areas where in situ shale makes up stream banks. Here, blocks which have fallen from the banks can be found. As this location is a nature reserve, any aquatic life living on these rocks should be respected.
