News Brief

Specialist Aggregates discovers Limpet Rings on Jersey CI

Full Story:

June 18th 2012.

A warm early summer afternoon in the shadow of Faulkners superb seafood outlet located in a WWII German Bunker at the Northernmost point of St Ouen’s Bay on Jersey. Just doing what comes naturally to an incurable rock hound, scrambling over rocks having a bit of a poke about.

Nothing very exciting, just massive sequences of bedded muds and sands thought to be around 700million years old – give or take an odd weekend, and having got themselves baked up a bit (Thermally metamorphosed to those that know) with the intrusion of some quite attractive pink granites around 250million years later, then a further eon of insignificance until I decided to clamber over them.

Then a moment of inspiration - on a beach strewn with sea-washed limpet shells, nature had contrived to wear away the pointy tops leaving – yes! Limpet Rings!!
Ok, so we will probably be closed down by some committee wishing to preserve the Olympic brand but I thought it was good!
