Join our rangers and local experts from ‘Geologists in the Geopark’ and try to find your own carboniferous fossil! This family friendly 2 hour session starts at the visitor centre with a brief introduction to the fascinating geology of the park and what you might expect to find during the fossil hunt. The experts from ‘Geologists in the Geopark’ will be on hand to share their knowledge as you dig in to an exposed area of coal spoil to see what you can discover. At the end of the session, return to the Severn Valley Country Park Visitor Centre to examine your finds under a microscope. The fossils can be found on the surface or just underneath it so please bring a small trowel and a plastic tub with you to aid your fossil hunting. You will be able to take home your finds along with an identification sheet.
