@yorkshire.fossils: Here is a naturally spherical stone that we found! It was in a loose shale slab after falling from the cliff onto the beach... Once extracted we opened it up with our large hammer! What will be inside? 🐊🔨 These ammonites are around 185 Million Years Old and looked a little like modern day 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
