So I was out for a walk the other day, i found myself wondering across the shore of a big reservoir that is maybe about 20ft shallower than normal. I ended up finding a thin fossiliferous layer exposed, no sign of fossils above or below this particular layer, which as far as I could tell was just a few inches thick. Question is, how could I get a date? I have spent ages looking at geological pdf's found on Google, can't find anything about a layer of marine fossils this far inland. I am in South East Wales. Thanks, Mark

Dear all, I am totally new to the community. I found what seems to be a fossilised octopus arm, a couple of days ago, along with some solens (I guess). From that "discovery", many wonders/questions.

So I realise I may need to figure out where these boulders originated form/how they ended up here to get any further in my research... but I'd need

Here’s an interesting article by Paleoanthropologist John Hawks, it details the problems CT scans can introduce when dating fossils via ESR (electron spin resonance) dating. This is particularly pertinent to paleoanthropology because of how vital exact dates are. http://johnhawks.net/weblog/reviews/geology/dating/x-ray-esr-ct-scans-2019.html

I thought this was an interesting concept... http://www.cardfund.org/ "The Community Archaeology Radiocarbon Dating (CARD) Fund was established and funded by Archaeological Research Services Ltd and the SUERC Radiocarbon dating laboratory in January 2016. The fund consists of a set number of radiocarbon dates available on an annual basis that community archaeology groups or projects can apply for. For 2016 there will be 10 radiocarbon dates available. The fund is not open to universities, students, professional archaeological organisations or large charities. It is directed specif
