DEVEX fieldtrip to Hopeman Sandstone 30th May 2024

A highlight of the year so far for Ogilvie Geoscience has been a trip to the Hopeman Sandstone in Morayshire, UK as part of the DEVEX 2024 conference.

Led by Steven Ogilvie and sponsored by Craig Lindsay of Core Specialist Services. We also had the pleasure of the company of David Longstaff from Elgni Museum who pointed out numerous geological structures and reptile footprints.
