On a cloudy Saturday morning a young naturalist called Freddie took his father along to join 6 naturalists in Kensworth Quarry searching for fossils.

Some of the naturalists were initially distracted by butterflies and other insects but they all made it into the quarry and diligently turned over loose stones for an hour looking for the elusive fossils. The site had recently been examined by the local geology group so only Janet, who had a little hammer and hoe, was lucky enough to find a fossil to show Freddie.

After lunch some time was spent exploring Five Knolls on Dunstable Downs where around 90 skeletons have previously been found, a good display of them is in Luton museum. Sadly, no more were found that day.
