I sawed this septarian concretion in half, to reveal a lovely pale brown #coprolite in the centre. But weirdly, the two sawn halves seem to have faces, looking at each other, with different expressions. Some kind of dialogue maybe? From the Orchard Beds in #RoukenGlenPark #Geology One for @palaeokatie !

@palaeokatie Any time!!! 😊 The water level is a big factor though. You need a week of no rain... 😬

@Gordonmorrison52 @palaeokatie down in the Auldhouse Burn: there's a wee sign with info about the rocks at the Orchard Beds location... Also display of specimens + a video in the Pavilion (if it's open ☹️) by the playpark...
