Description: | The Windyfield Chert is a fossiliferous chert approximately 700m from the original Rhynie Chert locality (Trewin 1994). The Windyfield Chert is rich in arthropods, such as Trigonotarbid Arachnids, Centipedes, Branchiopod Crustaceans and Euthycarcinoid remains (Anderson and Trewin 2003). In addition, samples of Ventarura and Zosterophyll were also found at the site. A number of finds from the Windyfield Chert are the subject of ongoing research. The site is supported by the Aberdeen University Geology department website 'The Rhynie Chert a teaching and learning resource' which provides an important resource for all information regarding both the Rhynie and Windyfield Cherts.
