Sandwick Fish beds, Yesnaby

Walking north from the car park you come to a broch ....and then Ramna geo and the fish beds. These are basically a turned over pile of mudstones but there are still obvious fossil bits and bobs. One piece we saw looked exactly like the piece that was in the Fossil and Heritage Centre on Burray that was labelled - this is what you need to look for - the blue colouration is due to weathering.



..and then there were lots of possible spines and scales - wish we'd had longer at this site!
