I am very fortunate that our house is built upon Jurassic rocks so I can go fossil hunting in my own back garden! I'm doubly lucky that there is also a small brook at the end of our garden, the stream bed gravels of which are amazingly fossil rich. Over the years we have found many, many gryphaea - they're extraordinarily common - plus good numbers of Belemnites, pentacrinites crinoid stems, bivalves, ammonites and kuldrinchnium (infilled anemone burrows). Our 'beach'. The bridge interrupts the stream flow causing deposition of new gravels during winter floods. Today was the first nice sunny day for over a week. After returning from work I mowed the lawns front and back then had half an hour spare before the boys returned from school. Until recently the water level in the brook has been very high (we've had a very wet winter and early spring) so this was the first chance I have had to see if anything new has been unearthed from the gravels.
