The imprint of a fossilized Lepidodendron root section embedded in the rock layers. These roots would have fed nutrients to huge tree-like club mosses that grew in the swampy tropical conditions that prevailed on this part of the earths surface over 300 million years ago. County…

Stigmaria - this is a fossilized root section of a Lepidodendron "tree" still embedded in the rock. Over 300 million years ago, this area was covered in forest of these large tree-like plants, related to modern Club mosses. County Clare, Ireland.

Another look at last weeks Slow Worm (Anguis fragilis) from the Burren. Believed to have been introduced to Ireland during the 1900s, they are one of two irish reptile species along with the native Viviparous lizard (Zootoca vivipara). County Clare, Ireland.

A Slow Worm (Anguis fragilis) that was almost stumbled upon during a walk in the Burren. One of Ireland’s two reptile species. Although it looks like a snake, they are actually a type of legless lizard (They've even got a detachable tail!). County Clare, Ireland.

A look at some recently washed up and still living Common Goose barnacles (Lepas anatifera). Popped them back in a rockpool to give them a brief reprieve, but the winds and currents are not in their favour unfortunately. County Clare, Ireland.
