Our first open day since 2019!! Nearly #fossilfriday
Was good to present my work to date at the @BangorUni_PGR PhD conference. How strange seeing real faces staring back at me!!!!! @brymboheritage @fossilforest @KESS_Central @MEEBangor
Good to be back out on site doing fieldwork for my @KESS_Central project at @fossilforest ⚒🪨🌱🌴
Here's the poster for the @DarganfodD events on today and tomorrow. We're only here today though!
Set up at @TyPawb ready for @DarganfodD! We'll be here from 10 until 4 if you want to visit us and chat about the work on site and with @MEEBangor
Are you interested in how organisms enter the fossil and archaeological record? This short course being offered by Wrexham Glyndwr in collaboration with our Fossil Forest project might be right up your street! glyndwr.ac.uk/en/ShortCourse…
We're collaborating with Wrexham Glyndwr University to bring you a course looking at taphonomy in palaeontology & archaeology! If you're interested in participating follow this link: glyndwr.ac.uk/en/ShortCourse…
Interested in Palaeontology, Archaeology & Forensics? Check out our Preservation & Decay Short Course starting in May. It’s a blended programme with online activities & 2 days of face-to-face workshops in Wrexham. More details & booking here: glyndwr.ac.uk/en/ShortCourse…
Morons have seriously damaged the Crystal Palace #Megalosaurus (@cpdinosaurs). These historical sculptures are so precious, please consider donating to their repair and preservation: cpdinosaurs.org/donate/?fbclid…. #PaleoArt #SciArt #PalaeoArt #SciComm
While we are a somewhat smaller operation, our collection is nonetheless unique, over 1000 Late Carbonifeorus paleobotanical specimens exclusively curated by volunteers from the local community and beyond! #MuseumsUnlocked #palaeobotany #palaeontology #paleobotany #paleontology
@TheRhodRecord @RobJewsbury @maddiemoate Once @Museum_Cardiff is open again, it would be worth coming to see the Fossil Swamp exhibiton with some excellent examples from @fossilforest museum.wales/cardiff/whatso…
Surprise! We’re working on features for 8.0.4! Enchantments are back, now renamed Archaeologist I - III and Paleontologist I - III. They can be obtained through villager trades and rarely from the enchanting table.
Brymbo Fossil Forest near Wrexham is a staggering 300 million years old. It is to benefit from a £4m Heritage Lottery Fund grant as part of a wider £6m project. See more: Coast & Country, Thursday 9pm @ITVWales. @HeritageFundUK @HeritageFundCYM @fossilforest @brymboheritage
We are absolutely over the moon that our 2nd round heritage lottery fund application was successful! This means that the entire heritage area, inc. Fossil Forest project will see significant developments in the near future! 4.1 million quid! Whoah! leaderlive.co.uk/news/18313969.…
Just look at this prehistoric chonker!
Potentially excellent news for the Brymbo #Carboniferous fossil forest. Read on: wrexham.com/news/plans-to-…
Site visit to @brymboheritage @fossilforest in advance of the forthcoming @HeritageFundCYM @HeritageFundUK committee decision 🏴 Fantastic welcome by so many of the passionate people behind this project with huge plans for its future. Diolch a pob lwc!
As noted - you will probably hear a lot about "Stori Brymbo: A 300 Million Year Journey” in the future! wrexham.com/news/plans-to-…
Councillors now about to indicate support for "detailed support arrangements to enable the Brymbo Heritage Trust deliver its regeneration vision for the Brymbo Heritage Area" - and instruct Officer to write a letter of support to its prospective principal funder
