LiamL Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Me and @DanJeavs recently had a trip to Wrens nest in Dudley, England. It's Alot older than what we're used to collecting and my first time collecting inland. 4 Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamL Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hammers are not allowed here so collecting here involves looking through as many rocks as you can find and spraying with water. Ripple beds 2 Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam86cucv Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I especially like the gastropod. Even without hammers it looks like good finds can be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Nice finds. It's always good to venture out into the unknown. Looks like those ripple sediments are on that large slipped block at the right in that first photo. Or do all of the sediments lay at such an acute angle? Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Really interesting place as far as geology goes. It’s a giant coral reef bed from the Silurian. Every single rock you turn over is covered in coral, shells, partial trilos and crinoids etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Nice, a good place in which to hunt. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
