We made a field trip to Sentosa on the 11th of July 2020 to study the rock formation found around the area. Using the Geology Map of Singapore as a reference point, we focused on the beach head around Fort Siloso as the main site.
An overview of the area from Google Maps.
A clearing to Renau face. This beachhead is facing north.
There was a clear separation between the beach head and the fort itself. Granite rocks were used to fortify a barrier between the sea and the compound.
Above are some findings and samples that we have collected during our visit. Samples will be documented by Kathy. The beach head was teeming with wildlife, crabs, sea snails and cockroaches were scurrying around the entire beach head. I believe the rare encounter with humans have given these little sea critters a safe space to thrive.
There were plenty of obstacles along the way. We chanced upon two fallen trees and this prevented us from venturing further.
Can this be a fossil?
