Fossil Grove

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fossil Grove is located within Victoria Park, Glasgow. It was discovered in 1887 and contains the fossilised stumps of 11 extinct Lepidodendron ("Giant club moss") trees.[6][7] and has been a popular tourist attraction since early times. [8]

The site, Glasgow's most ancient visitor attraction and the remnants of an extensive ancient forest, is viewed from within a building constructed to protect the fossils from the elements. ^[1]
