Fascinating read, thanks for posting that. I'm old, a dinosaur to my kids even! I love taking them out, doing different things (pre covid) and one day I decided to take them to a little known quarry that was like most of Yorkshire under water or breaking water for millions of years. We searched the cliff fronts for quite some time and only found partial fossils. After a couple of hours picking away I decided that we might be above the KT line and maybe we should head to the lower face.
Walking back down to level ground my eldest and clumsiest fell over a rock.. Doh!!!
Dad... Yes... Is this a fossil?
An hour of careful extraction later this is what emerged... Is it a fossil? I dunno. A concretion maybe?
It's about a football size, a little bigger maybe?
Thoughts chaps and chapesses
