4 members went on the field trip to the Burnt Bridge area of the Koksilah river near Shawnigan. This is an area to find double-headed quartz crystals tubeworm fossils.
“What you are looking for are silicate rich sandstones that have been trapped between the fault lines skipping across the far side of the river; unlike the Duncan variety of crystals these are in hard rock and will need to be dug out. Also you can find marble, and fossils in the creek.
The 4 of us had a great time, and found some great samples.” – Sean Maier
The group met at Ice Cream Mountain in Goldstream and the trip lasted from 9am to 3:30pm
