Fossil Hunting & More
Fossil Hunting & Field Trips
Fossil hunting and field trips make up the bulk of the convention, giving attendees the unique opportunity to get hands-on with the evidence. A handbook will be provided, which will help you make the most of the field trips, taking notes as you go, and providing additional information. Find out more about the field trip locations below.
The Yorkshire Jurassic Coast
The lesser-known Jurassic Coast in the UK, the Yorkshire Jurassic Coast contains some of the best fossil-hunting locations in the UK! From ferns to cycads, squid to shells, and dinosaurs to jet, the rocks exhibit excellent evidence for Noah’s Flood!
Whitby
The first field trip of the convention will be to Whitby. Famous for its Jet, a type of fossil wood, this location has strong historical connections, along with fabulous fossils such as cycads, clam shells, and ammonites!
Saltwick Bay
Best known for its ammonite fossils, Saltwick is an easy-to-access beach with an abundance of fossils! It also has reptiles and shells, and is also famous for jet, which is a type of lignite and considered to be a minor gemstone and popular for jewellery.
Kettleness
Ketttleness is an excellent location for reptile remains and many other fossils as well. The location is also excellent for its geological exposures, showcasing some amazing cliffs and lias!
Whitby Museum & Panet Park
The Convention will also take a trip to the famous Whitby museum, and the living fossil garden in Panet Park! Astounding collections cased in Victorian cabinets make the Whitby museum one of the best in the UK, and Joe will lead you through the collections.
