Bendrick Rock

Bendrick Rock is the newest addition to BIGC's portfolio of sites. Formerly owned by Associated British Ports, the locality in Barry, South Glamorgan is one of the UK's most important coastal geological localities and is listed as both a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Geological Conservation Review Site (GCR). The GCR lists the locality twice, for its stratigraphy and for its exceptional fossil reptile tracks.

The British Institute for Geological Conservation has received funds from the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund for Wales to purchase and develop Capel Horeb Quarry. This disused quarry, of late Ludlow and possibly lower Pridoli siltstones and sandstones, near Llandovery, Powys has yielded very important discoveries of both plant and animal fossils.
