Dear Fossilclubgroup,


I must greatly apologise that I have neither sent off my subscription fee
yet for Club Membership nor an intended detail response to John who has
also sent log photo/info to me.  I ask for more indulgence till I do this,
?soon.

As I probably noted by way of introduction, one of my "pet" interests is
trees, viz.
http://www.lachlanhunter.deadsetfreestuff.com/JB/Big-Trees/big-trees.htm
which is a survey of big tree localities worldwide).

I recently discovered, while attempting to tap into the knowledge of those
who know Catherine Hill Bay far better than I, and/or live thereabouts,
that there seems to be a quite significant (for geology anyway) layer of
standing fossil trees, or petrified forest if you like, just close below
the Great Northern Seam.

As far as I am yet aware, nobody before has recognised or described this
tree-bearing interval (which would be withing the Awaba Tuff)  - I found
out that a snorkeller saw a big standing log in the underwater cliff face
at Catherine Hill Bay some thirty years ago and it turns out also on more
enquiry that NPWS have known about fossil stumps visible at low tide on
Ghosties Beach just south of the Bay.

Geologist Sir Edgeworth David (1907) reported seeing good fossil trees near
Quarries Head (or else at Stinky Point?) and at the "Government Quarry"
near there, where he recorded that some are up to 10m in length.  I'll
certainly be interested, some time, to try and retrace David's steps
thereabouts.

There's well known fossil forest exposures at Swansea Heads and at Fennel
Bay on the western side of the Lake.  I know of some other fossil log
mentions ,,,, for Stockton (VERY large, one hundred feet in length), near
Freemans Waterhole, at West Wallsend, etc., but I expect I certainly would
have nothing like a full and comprehensive list of all occurrences yet.

As I get fresh new snippets of interest (new to me but not necessarily to
others who might already know of such) I tend to upload them ... and
http://www.lachlanhunter.deadsetfreestuff.com/JB/enchanted-professor.htm is
recent example of such.  It is about somebody (maybe a local Swansea
resident?) who appears to have paraphrased David's 1907 writings into an
article.  You can see there some more 'modern' geologists following David's
steps on the "sandy beach below the pilot station" and headed for the
fossil trees.

That particular excursion is by the Geological Survey which was, and is,
the same living entity that was David's old outfit in the 1880s when he did
his immense undertaking of coalfields survey - A fine feat which I think in
particular kicked off the great 1920s mining boom of the Greta or South
Maitland coalfield.

I suspect that many or most of the fossil tree locations we might know or
learn of today were already known to David, with the possible expception of
the Catho-Ghosties one.

With Best Regards,

I'd be happy to write on the Jurassic conifer log situation when it is
all resolved. One idea is to get a grant for some heavy machinery to
dig up a large log, take it away and araldite the pieces together for
a museum display. May not happen tho. Meanwhile I've had not one but
two strong leads on Tertiary silicified wood (eucalypt, casuarina)
with a superb black and yellow tigereye sheen. Hopefully all sorted
out by Xmas.

Hi All,
Our new presidente (Philip) showed me a copy of David Attenborough's
Lost Worlds Vanished Lives DVD. It is quite good as it shows you all
kinds of fossils and places where you might find them. You can get a
copy from the ABC Shop for about $30. It runs for about 158 minutes
and contains 4 episodes – the complete series. I recommend this for
all who loves fossils.

Jill - you should have a look at this DVD as it talks about Lyme Riges.

John - nice pictures of the logs, would you like to write something
about the logs for the Newsletter?

Albert

Hi Jill,
A few months ago one of our club members went to England and brought
back some fossils. She went to (I think) Dorset, Lyme Regis - see
http://www.lymeregis.ukfossils.co.uk/,
http://www.jurassiccoast.com/index.jsp?articleid=26809,
http://www.ukfossils.co.uk/dorset.htm.,
http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/B/big_monster_dig/collecti
ng_fossils/dave_martills_favourite.html,

You can just walk around the beach and headland and pick up what you
see but follow the local laws - see the above URLs. Don't much about
collecting in Europe so you will have to search in Google.

Happy hunting
Albert

Hi everyone,
I'm  a new member, and enjoying the field trips. I have no knowledge
of sites overseas and so my enquiry may seem odd, but if you don't
ask, you don't learn. Perhaps there is a site on Google which you can
suggest for basic information of world sites ...... Anyway to my
enquiries:
I am going to Europe via London in late December for 3 weeks. Flying
to Norway then travelling  by train to Italy, France and Spain. I have
2 questions a. Are there any approved dig sites in southern Europe for
small fossils in January, or will it still be too cold.
b. If anyone has contacts in this part of the world, I'd really like
to meet up with them. I plan to stay at YHA hostels on the continent ,
and can be anywhere, anytime from 30th December. Must say, my "non-
fossil" friends are wondering why I'm not just sunning it in the Greek
Islands for a fortnight instead of digging around in soggy dirt! ...

I've uploaded an image to the miscellenous photo album. It is of a
collection of Jurassic log sections found last week in the far south
of Tasmania by Peter Harris. The trees were conifers perhaps
araucariads related to Wollemi Pine.

So far no showpiece trilobites or dinosaur bones but we're working on it.

Hi jelainegardiner
I have asked this question before on my travels. You can get an
official reply from
http://www.deh.gov.au/heritage/movable/import.html#advice, the
Department of Environment and Heritage. In some states in the US it is
forbiten to collect fossil from certain government lands , so check
where it comes from. As long as fossils does not originate from China
and Argentina its OK - see DEH link. I am not sure about the UK -
check their DEH or Custom web site.

Hi Albert,

I ran into a couple from Maitland at today's fossil dig at Mulbring.  The
woman's name was Lynne and she is a geologist who's been a longstanding
Fossil Club member.  She said that she couldn't log onto our website.  The
only thing I found is that the hyperlink from the forum is incorrect ...

http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/fossilclubgroup/www.fossilclubnsw.org.au

I think that this might be the problem.

I've also forgotten my username and password to the members part of our

I am seeking information about bringing fossils into Australia after
travelling overseas.  If anyone can suggest helpful websites or
someone who might be of assistance I would appreciate it.  In early
August I will be flying to Los Angeles and London.  I hope to purchase
fossils from a dealer in LA(visited previously), fly to UK and collect
ammonites around Lyme Regis and possibly vertebrate specimens at Aust
Cliffs.  I will then return to Australia by air.

I would appreciate any information about what I can or cannot
transport via the UK with me and bring back to Australia, whether I
require a permit, and any other relevant information. It would be a
pity to spend time and money collecting good fossils only to have them
confiscated by customs or quarantine.  Thanks - Janette Sutton

Hi Paul/Albert,


Below is a recent progress report on Maroota by Tessa Corkill.

Plus I'll fill you in a bit about my current ideas by describing some
broader scope.

I'm interested in the Permian stumpfield horizons (assumed to have been
buried under volcanic ash) of which the well known one is at western side
of Lake Macquarie (and also with good coastal exposures near Swansea Heads).

The Maroota project is one of a set of proposals along the
Hawkesbury-Nepean of small and relatively non-technical nature which, are
also any community involvement interest as could arise, along the
Hawkesbury-Nepean river system.

Consider that imediately downstream of where the Nepean River 'comes out
from the moutains' (called the "Nepean Gorge") it has 'dropped' (deposited)
a large semicircular swathe of gravel and sand at Emu Plains/Castlereagh.
The Emu Plains area obviously cannot be quarried as it was early built
over.  The Castlereagh area (Upper Castlereagh river flats) was the scene
of the major gravel companies beginning to co-venture decades ago to buy
out all the Upper Castlereagh farmers and gain freehold over the ground for
a scheme to almost all the sand and gravel of the Castlereagh flats and
capture the greater part of the Sydney sand and 'blue metal' market.  The
holes left become the "Penrith Lakes".  The scheme covers an area of 2000
hectares.  It is the largest sand and gravel quarry anywhere in Australia.
It provides 450+ local jobs and injects over $50 mpa into the local
economy.  When mined out (and it maybe will be essentially mined out in as
little as 3-4 years more) I think the land goes to the government as some
sort of 'regional park' arrangement.

Now just south of Penrith the Nepean River emerges through the front of the
Blue Mountains Plateau, or the Lapstone Monocline, trending northeasterly
(towards Windsor and Maroota ... part of the intervening distance towards
Windsor being rich in Tertiary "older" gravel deposits - the Rickabys Creek
Formation).
This trend may be following a common ENE-NE structural trends set (examples
of such further southwest or in the upstream direction include the Kowmung
River, Butchers or Black Hollow Creek, Green Wattle Creek, Lacys Creek and
a section of Wollondilly River downstream of Bonnum Pic).

The old (Tertiary) sediments of the river at Maroota are quite rich in
silicified wood.  Where did it come from?  On the basis of suspicion that
river development was influenced by the abovemention ENE-NE set of structal
trends, my guess is to the SSW - i.e. in the Wollondilly to Nattai River
area west of Picton.  I'd be interested therefore in any records of fossil
wood known thereabouts.  Are there any significant horizons of fossil wood,
or more stumpfields maybe, to be found in the coal measures there ... or
anywhere else west or southwest or Sydney?  If stumpfields really do owe
their preservation to ashfall then ashfalls can be over a large are.

That's the bigger canvas just from my own personal interests.  The Maroota
project itself is to collect/compile all that's known of
heritage/geoheritage significance on the Maroota Sand formation.

One of the early steps will be the organising of an excursion.  This is
pending the obtaining of permission from quarries or other landowners at
present.

Maroota is also interesting because a basalt flow directly overlies the
Maroota Sand and will allow by radiometric data the getting of a minimum
age of the river deposits there.

If interested in joining in any of the Maroota project activities please
contact Tessa Corkill.  I am also nominated co-investigator on an
application to Environment Trust in quest of a little funding for the
project but Tessa is maintaining the mailing list for it and issuing
progress reports.

~~~~ MAROOTA PROJECT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



MAROOTA SANDS HERITAGE UPDATE

Research for the project continues, including fieldwork to examine relevant
material (thanks to helpful residents).

I've been looking at old research work into volcanic intrusions that are
reported to overlie small areas of the Maroota Sands. Dating of these will
give a minimum date for the Sands (i.e. the Sands have to be older than the
volcanic material on top of them  I estimate they will be at least 14
million years old). The underground extent of one of the intrusions of
basalt (often called blue metal) was mapped with a magnetometer by
geophysicist P. Cooney in 1966, in order to estimate its economic
importance. It didnt amount to much (only about 6 metres thick at most)
and Cooney stated it was of doubtful economic significance (Geological
Survey Report 66/190). Nevertheless, pieces found on the surface or
ploughed up during farming have been made use of locally for various
purposes, such as decorative walls.

A second even smaller basalt intrusion is supposed to be present in the
area but so far I have been unable to find a magnetometer report for this,
or any of the actual rock.

One of the reports I have been looking at, by D.S. Thynne (Geological
Survey Report 1977/104), has analyzes of dozens of samples from boreholes
in the Maroota Sands and down along the Hawkesbury. At the time they were
interested in gold and other valuable heavy minerals, but the amounts
present were too minuscule to be economically viable. Interestingly, Thynne
mentions that the Main Roads Department had previously been carrying out
drilling investigations for a possible bridge over the Hawkesbury at
Wisemans Ferry. Well, a lot can happen in thirty years, but nothing further
seems to have happened about that!

If anyone has any information or suggestions for the project, I'm happy to
discuss them at any time.

Hi Albert

I for one would like to know more about the Maroota project.  Thanks
Paul M

Hello All

A new member to this forum (Dr. John Byrnes) has started a geoheritage
project at Maroota. John, would like to post more information on this
subject?

Albert

Hi All,
The Tucson Mineral and Fossil Show 2006 in Arizona USA has ended and I
have downloaded some pictures of the show. There are a lot of great
stuff to be had there. I have put the photos in the Photos section
under Tucson ..... See for yourself.

Albert

I've just uploaded two images by Ralph Bottrill of a crystal cluster
inside marl that is littered with fragments of early Ordovician
trilobites. I found the piece in early January at Adamsfield in
Tasmania. The crystals were probably pyrite or calcite now replaced by
goethite. The matrix has dozens of trilobite fragments but the
negative mould highlighted appears to be a cephalon from the genus
Hystricurus, about 1 cm wide.

John Newlands

Hi to those who are going to Ross and Cindy's home next Sunday.
I am going to bring a piece of rock which I bought back from our Yass
trip. It's not very large, approx 20cmx10cmx3cm  but as it has evidence
of fossil remains on the surface that I haven't seen before, I need
some advice. As an unskilled newcomer to the group, will have my chisel
and hammer ready, and I look forward to the results (if any)! See you
there,
Jill Harrison

Congrats on website which seems to be the way to go. It might turn out
to be an online meeting place for fossil collectors near and far. For
example last week Brisbane member Don Eastwell and I were looking for
asaphid trilobites in NW Tasmania. We're both in NSWFC because it
seems to be the most active.  I've got some highly unusual fossil pix
in the pipeline, more of which later.
John N.

The pygidium that Elvie found at Bowning has been identified as
belonging to the encrinurinae. I have created a file in the Files
directory called Ecrinurinae.pdf and it explane something about the
pygidium. The picture is also uploaded to the photos directory.

THREE TIMES.  NO.

Ross, have you filled out a Yahoo profile yet?? Are you getting access
to the club without any trouble?
Dave

Yes, he is in (at work, not the photos part of the site which still seems to
resist my attempts to access).  Money deposited to the account of the host
today and email sent to host and Albert to confirm payment.

Is the poor old bank manager in yet? The photos, Ross when you get around to
it are very good. May I suggest you save this group to your favourites
because when you log into Yahoo next time, fiding the groups link is a bit
awkward

Albert, I don't seem to be able to access the photos.  If I select the link
'Trip Photos' I get to your message but the menu bar down the left hand side
is not active - the options under 'Members Only' (which I presume is where I
go to see the photos) cannot be accessed (I don't get the 'pointy hand',
just a cursor).  Have I not got access or am I in the wrong spot ?

Thanks.

I'll be uploading files to this members site.  The files will be in
