New Members Kevin Speight Posted October 20, 2022 New Members Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hi everyone. I've recently discovered that I'm absolutely fascinated by the fossils and associated Geology of the UK. It started with a visit to Kimmeridge bay with my 8 year old Son, where we saw the large ammonite impressions on the foreshore. I've also been fortunate enough to visit rarely seen fossils through my passion for Caving. I live close to Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire, where I've found dozens of fascinating little treasures from the Jurassic mud spring there. I'm also within striking distance of some superb locations in Somerset and Dorset. Although new and naive, I am keen! So much so that I've set up a little fossil prep workshop in my shed, complerte with air scribe, dust removal etc. Very early stages of the apprenticeship though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum.
