Ammonite - Blog Posts
I went fossil hunting down at the Warren (in Folkestone, Kent, UK) on Thursday last week. These are some of my favourite finds from the trip (I washed them up at home).
Fossil hunting is great fun. If you live in the UK, and fancy giving it a shot, then there are some really handy websites that you should check out. https://ukfossils.co.uk/ and http://www.discoveringfossils.co.uk/fossil-locations-of-great-britain/
If you don't live in the UK but still want to give it a go then I would recommend looking for local fossil hunting clubs, societies and websites. Failing that you should try to look for areas where sedimentary rocks are being eroded. For instance, cliffs by the sea, rivers, old quarries, etc.
Just make sure you don't trespass or go anywhere too dangerous. For instance, if you are fossil hunting under cliffs at the beach, don't get to close to the cliffs (falling debris and cliffs collapsing) and plan around the tides (you don't want to get cut off).

A giant #ammonite from millions of years ago. One of New Zealand’s largest fossils is on permanent display in Te Papa.
Hiking to the largest Ammonite in the world!

Titanites lived during the Late Jurassic Period and had a shell diameter of around 137 centimetres! surprisingly it wasn’t the largest ammonoid, as some species such as Parapuzosia could get over twice as large!
There were also some plant fossils around the area of this site!
