A Field Trip

I've never been on a Geography field trip so I'm going to tell you about a time I went looking for fossils in Gloucester. I think it must have been in about 1994. I was living with some friends, Pete and Lucy, in Bristol and one day, totally out of the blue, Pete asked me if I wanted to go for a walk by the river to look for fossils. I'd never thought of doing it before but it sounded interesting. We drove for 30 minutes to a part of the River Severn in Gloucester. The Severn is tidal and when we arrived the tide was down. This meant that a lot of the river bank was exposed and it was here that Pete found his fossils. He dug out a small area of the bank and picked out all the medium sized stones. When he washed them in the river I realised that they were snail-shaped fossils. Pete told me what kind of fossils they were but it was so long ago I don't remember.
The reason I thought I'd tell you this story is because some of my ex-students said that they found some fossils on a field trip in Cajon del Maipo and I thought that this was the closest experience I'd had to a field trip.
