The DIGS group carried out one of its monthly conservation sessions on Sunday 10 November. The morning was spent at Quarr Lane, Sherborne. Apart from clearing encroching nettles, brambles and ivy, time was spent photographing fossils, mainly ammonites, which is hoped will help ongoing research on the Inferior Oolite.

On 8 October a group of nine DIGS members spent a few hours working on our site at Portesham Farm, Portesham.

The face of the old Rocket Quarry had become rather overgrown but is now in good condition exposing the boundary between the Portland and Purbeck Beds. For further information see the site page.

The next conservation session is at Quarr Lane Sherborne starting at 10.30 on Sunday 10th November.
