Fancy a trip to Jurassic Park?
I have recently returned from Curio Bay, where, at low tide, you can walk on the fossilised remains of a Jurassic forest floor that had been buried for 170 million years beneath river flood deposits. The tree trunks have silicified, meaning the wood has been replaced with the mineral silica, making them as hard as rock.You have to visit at low tide,as the forest floor is normally under water.
