Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at Portgower

27th June 2003

During the evening of the first day, we made our first wee visit. We took a trip to Portgower to examine the Kimmeridge Boulder Beds. A few fragments of ammonite were collected along with a few shells. The coastline from Brora to Helmsdale contains many Jurassic Rocks due to a massive fault known as the 'Helmsdale Fault'. It is one of the only opportunities to collect Jurassic Fossils in this part of Scotland.
