Fossil Hunting at Reighton Gap, Yorkshire | UK Fossils Road Tour

Описание: Join the UK Fossils Road Tour as we explore Reighton Gap, Yorkshire, a fascinating fossil hunting location along the Yorkshire coast between Filey and Speeton. Reighton Gap is known for exposures of Glacial Till containing rocks from various geological periods.

In this guide we cover:
• Where to fossil hunt around Reighton Gap
• What is Boulder Clay / Glacial Till and how was it formed
• Ice age glaciation that shaped our land
• Fossils that may be found including ammonites, belemnites, and bivalves, echinoids, corals and crinoids
• How Reighton Gap fits into the wider Cretaceous and Jurassic geology of the Yorkshire Coast
• The best tide conditions for safe fossil hunting
• Safety advice for high cliffs, mudslides, and rapidly rising tides

Reighton Gap offers a quieter alternative to some of the more famous Yorkshire fossil sites and can be very rewarding after storms or fresh cliff falls.

⚠️ Always check tide times carefully and stay well clear of unstable cliff sections.
