Pebbles -
Find them in the garden - on the beach - in the walls of old buildings...
What are they made of? Where do they come from? How did they get here?
EVERY PEBBLE TELLS A STORY
Our new fold-up poster gives the answers.
With a grant from the Geologists' Association Curry Fund, Ros Mercer has produced a poster with a pebble identification chart plus the amazing story of pebbles, the Ice Age Thames and the Ice cap in Essex. Pebbles in Essex Churches are also featured, revealing a handy insight into Essex geological history and variety. Find out too about the story of flint and the way pebbles are formed.
All this for only £2
