Snowdrops in the Bramerton Pits
Snowdrops in the Bramerton Pits
The wooded hillside adjoining Bramerton Common at Woods End, above the southern bank of the River Yare, conceals a 12 metres thick layer of shelly silts and sands which has given its name to an early Pleistocene glacial stage called Bramertonian Stage. Bramerton Pits > Link is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is regarded as a key reference locality. The fossil marine shells > Link found here indicate that sea levels were much higher when these sediments were deposited here. A variety of fossil animals including marine fishes, extinct voles, a gomphotene mastodont and an extinct otter have been found on the site which has been excavated on several occasions.
