I've trawled through my records and my previous blog posts and I don't recall seeing any fossils on the Ock itself. However just outside Abingdon there is the Dry Sandford Pit nature reserve and it has previously featured in this blog several times: http://viewsoftheock.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/local-patches.html as the fen feeds into Sandford Brook, which is a tributary. If you want to see fossils then this is the best place to go to as there any many fossils in the cliffs and it is a short car journey or bike ride to get there: http://www.bbowt.org.uk/reserves/dry-sandford-pit
Some time ago you posted about some fossils visible on the banks of the Ock.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see them - please could you describe where they are?
Thank you
