| This used to be the nicest beach on Fair Isle... millions of years ago. Henry wanted to look for fossils... Fair Isle is not a fossil rich environment , but we have been told there are some plant fossils on Buness. We went looking, I don't think we found any, though the Geology and rocks are very interesting. It was a great day to be outside and exploring our world. |

other interesting rock?
 |
| If you have any geology knowledge about these rock formations? please let us know. |
 |

Your 'bubbly' features are (I think) what are called 'pseudonodules' - this is a fancy name for features that formed as the sand flowed around a bit after it was deposited but before it became solid.
