Fossil forest found at steelworks
BBC News: "Workers redeveloping the site of a former steelworks near Wrexham have uncovered a fossil forest believed to date back 300 million years.
Geologists are now overseeing the excavation of the site, which is 50m long, at the old Brymbo works.
The forest pre-dated the dinosaurs and was from a time when what is now Wales was hot and humid and over the equator."
