Bucks Earth Heritage GroupPast EventsHere is a glimpse of some past events: Here are just a few of our recent and past events to whet the appetite. More images can be seen under specific sites in the geology section. Rock and fossil day at the Bucks County Museum:
There is always lots going on at these events: identification of rocks, fossils or minerals brought into us; displays of local fossils, explanation of Bucks geology, leaflets and information; demonstrations and often something exotic to interest all.
The group make many visits to geological locations such as Studley Grange for fossils:
Ivinghoe for beautiful Chalk landscape, ice age geology and an intriguing archaeological story:
The view above shows the lovely view from Chalk escarpment to clay vale and of field systems, some of which have been in place since the Bronze Age!
Above: Archaeological or geological lumps and bumps? Both are visible in this photograph from the Ivinghoe hills - ice age sculpting of the hills and human activity from the Bronze Age to Iron Age making the large ditch in the foreground and the famous hillfort of Beacon Hill (out of site in this shot).
