When they reached the quarry Mr Bell had drawn the members’ attention to the selection of Rhaetic clays and glauconitic sands which contained a number of fossils which had been found that day.
Mr Bell had also taken the time to show the members of the club “a very fine specimen” of phacolite which he had discovered at Killyflew near Ballymena, the paper noted that it had been “the first record of this beautiful variety of chabazite from County Antrim”.
The News Letter’s report on the field trip remarked: “Not only was the record of fossils considered satisfactory, but the great interest of the district generally was recognised.”
