Upper Burbage Bridge plant straps

08 Apr 2007 118
Some of the slabs of Chatworth/Rivelin Grit near the road at Upper Burbage Bridge are covered with plant fossils - stems, straps, small trunks, all roughly aligned at right-angles to the current flow direction. A sort of upper Carboniferous log jam, I suppose.
