Kosmoceras Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I went to Yaxley today, an Oxford Clay location in Peterborough, UK. The Embankment at Yaxley is always being eroded, and the Oxford Clay at this location is rich in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missourian Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Even the abandoned strip mines are beautiful in England. The fossils are nice too. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmoceras Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thanks guys. I did not manage to swim, too cold and muddy for that. It is a beuatiful place, there is building work around the corner, this section is not under construction now. They used to make bricks there out of the clay.

Shamalama Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 What is the small piece in your hand than looks like a tiny barb? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmoceras Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thanks, Neil, did you find much on your trips? The fossil in my hand is Genicularia vertibralis, an annelid worm tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
