It’s definitely worth a visit if your passing or you’re in the area but in my option it’s not the sort of place that’s worth making a long trip too. I’ll post some more later today as I’ve still got quite a few things to sort through. The Aust fossils are quite difficult to photograph and far better to look at in your hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welsh Wizard Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 This is the remains of a Jurassic fish from Lavernock Point in Wales. The only Jurassic fish I’ve ever found there. It was only because I lifted a shale slab with an ichthyosaur digit on and the fish was on the other side. Not great but I’m really pleased with this: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
