@yorkshire.fossils: Here are two naturally spherical stones that we found! One was in a loose shale slab after falling from the cliff onto the beach, the other was completely loose and had broken free naturally from its surrounding shale… Once extracted we opened them up with our hammer 🏝🌊 The first nodule was completely empty! Inside the second nodule, a stunning tenuicostatum ammonite from the Jurassic 😍🦑 These ammonites are around 185 Million Years Old and looked a little like fossil squid! They would have swam the seas as prey for Ichthyosaurs, Plesiosaurs and Marine Crocodiles! 🐊 They are one of the most common types of fossils to find in our area however there are particular ammonite variations which are incredibly rare!🐊 #natural #nature #fossil #fossils #ancient #animals #art #ammonite #ammonites #dinosaur #scientist #minerals #paleontology #whitby #geologist #dorset #geology #charmouth #jurassic #yorkshire #fyp
