My rarest find though must be a huge lump of Coprolite (dino poo) entirely preserved in iron pyrite. It weighs about 8lb. Also shrimps, coral, fern leaves and some ammonites from a quarry in Newark which no one can identify. They may be a new sub species or even a new species, I am waiting for news from some professionals. |
Not the most exciting of finds in itself, but went to a quarry somewhere in Austria last year and was amazed to find fossilized coral. For the not so knowledgable, Austria is a land locked country giving further proof of how much the plates have moved over the millions of years.

My ex in-laws take their kids to Whitby a lot and go fossil hunting. They've found loads of bits n pieces on the beach. it's a great way to get the kids involved.
