Hi There All.
I recently purchased some fossils from an old collection which had some
locations on the labels of fossil sites in Sydney. I did a bit of
exploring and looked at an old quarry in Hornsby Heights, although i
dident find any fish fossils, i did find some plant material including
a Horsetail plant fossil which is quit nice. other localities worth a
try include long reef and Turimetta head on the coast.

its a bit disapointing that the former quarries of sydney that produced
so muxh fossil material are now biuld over, or used as rubbish tips.

for more sites in and around sydney try.
