Fossil Hunting at Whitby, Yorkshire | UK Fossils Road Tour

Описание: Join the UK Fossils Road Tour as we explore Whitby, Yorkshire, one of the most famous fossil locations on the North Yorkshire Coast. This is a very popular location, but is sometimes difficult to access due to tide conditions. Whitby yields many ammonites, reptiles and shells, and is also famous for jet, which is the fossilised wood of monkey trees and used in jewellery. However, you can encounter a lot of competition at Whitby in your search for fossils.

In this video, we also cover:

Dinosaur Footprints, how to spot and how to identify prints
The History of Whitby Jet
The folklore behind the famous “Snakestones”

Whitby offers a rare mix of Jurassic dinosaurs, marine fossils, gemstone history, and local folklore, making it one of the most fascinating fossil destinations in the UK.

⚠️ Always check tide times carefully, allow plenty of time to exit safely, and stay clear of unstable cliffs.
