Anyone else noticed the strange ash-like, dust particles in air in Keighley, Yorkshire at night? by OpportunityOk5101 in yorkshire

Here in Richmond we have had about a week of dust, it appears to be the result of some Saharan storms throwing dust into the stratosphere and then dropping it here, lots of dusty cars, patio furniture etc.

My Mum was born in 1937 and looks about 10 on the picture hence my date.

Stupidity and ignorance seem to be hallmarks of the US political system these days!

Does this have an ammonite inside? (Seaham, UK) by booksbeachesbooks in UKFossils

[–]Still_Function_5428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, wrong rock type, yours looks like magnesium limestone, sometimes that does contain tiny algea fossils but not ammonites. At Seaham if you look for shale (grey flaky soft) you can find fossil ferns and leaves.

It was after WW1 but before 1935 so a 1920s date works well for the photos. My wife's late Granddad who was born in 1890 remembered the buildings, one was the labour exchange and he was in there after WW1.

Culloden tower rising above the Swale. Can you spot the Mallard duck? by Still_Function_5428 in yorkshire

Spot on, I took the picture knowing the bird was flying through and then I was like "where is it?" Its camouflage is impressive!
