Suffolk Geocene

Science Day at Ipswich Museum 10.03.12

The Museum will be hosting a ‘Dinosaur Star Show’ - a giant blow-up planetarium ‘taking a journey back to the time of the dinosaurs’. The Museum web site gives more information. GeoSuffolk will also be there, looking at space rocks and with a special look at the Asteroid Belt with its many and varied worlds and their often exotic names.

New 'Pliocene Forest' board at Sutton

Walkers on the footpath passing by Rockhall Wood, Sutton, can see GeoSuffolk's new panel about the trees in the 'Pliocene Forest' project; this interprets the fossil pollen from the Coralline Crag deposit, as seen in the nearby pit. The site is on private ground, but is easily viewed from the footpath near the board. Click here
