Digging in the mud!

Day one of our holiday on the Yorkshire coast. So, on the way to Robinhood's Bay, a diversion to Speeton: famous for the quality of its mud! ..and Cretaceous fossils.

Luckily, low tide is going to fall in the afternoon for the week we are here! 


Quality mud and slump.

Large pieces of belamnite....

A pyritized ammonite.

Excavation work....

A lobster in the process of being excavated ...of which more in another blog once it has been cleaned up. 

Sadly many - well most of the ammonites break up on removal...

Ammonite and impression.

...Day one's finds....
