The Woolshed Creek Geological Monument is on the site of the first Silurian fossils found in Australia. The sedimentary rock containing the fossils was formed about 420 million years ago. The rock is a grey mudstone within a rock unit named the Canberra Formation.
Fossils were discovered in this mudstone by Reverend W.B. Clarke in the mid 1840s. For quite some time these were the oldest known fossils in Australia. The fossils found by Clarke are brachiopods.
This locality is of significant historical importance and it has been placed on the Register of the National Estate and the ACT Heritage Places Register.View a larger version of this picture: small | medium | large (pictures open in a new window) This picture is part of the following Bonzle photo collections: Is this picture rude, offensive or defamatory; spam; or not about and/or of the place?
