Fossil hunting Ravenscar in the summer

- I can't help myself with this place... back again for another fossil hunt! Ravenscar is home to a diversity of ammonites, and a collection of rare species found nowhere else on the Yorkshire coast. Today I am hunting a Haugia having had a lot of disappointingly incomplete examples of this rare genus/species.
Come along and enjoy the hunt!
Another great informative video as always - keep them coming and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words. Another hunting video should be out next week and I've got some more fossils coming back from prep for some Before-After vids
always look forward to your videos
Glad you like them! Should be a few more coming up after the last week without any!
Another interesting video and finds Andrew ❤
Thanks! Ravenscar is always good to me, but the next hunt is somewhere different for a change too
Nice one Andrew 👍 👍⚒️⚒️
Glad you enjoyed it
Cracking finds 👌 👏 👍..
Thank you! Ravenscar is always good to me and it was another great day there!
Nice hunt with some different species 😊
It is my favourite thing about Ravenscar. Small beach, but a great diversity of finds to be had!
When you show us the cliff layers, can you remind us what dates those span and which deposits hold the ammonites fossils? (for example 1:06, 2:36, 4:29 etc.) Thanks!
There was actually a sequence recorded where I was planning to overly an image showing the layers, however getting a good geological/stratigraphic column to plonk on top was not doable without further delaying the video. It is on the list of things to add to future videos and once I've got it for one video/locale it will be much easier to add in every time
However, all of Ravenscar that I filmed at is uppermost Lias of Yorkshire so roughly 180 million years ago
First time there Saturday... Lots of devil toe nails, few pseudos or that other similar one? Amalthius??
Would love to see a video on the different types found along the coast
If you found devil's toe nails at Ravenscar I'd be surprised. Usually from the Lower and Middle Lias stuff from near Robin Hoods Bay or up north. That being said, if you were in RHB you definitely might have found an Amaltheus - usually distinct as they have a keel that looks a little like a rope with a series of small constrictions rather than a single smooth keel.
@@dinoskool I was between raven and boggle when I started picking them up..... Ended up with about 6-8 good ones, big and complete.
Tbh tho, this trip saw alot of shells, muscles etc.
Ah, that makes more sense. As you head left from Ravenscar to Boggle you start going back quite quickly into the beds that have the devil's toe nails. I tend to go right from Ravenscar to the upper lias beds which don't have them.
@@dinoskool walked robin hood to the second cove at ravenscar.. Did the silly thing of shimmy round the beach end of Robin Hoods bay (didn't know I'd have to wait there lmao.. All dry 😊)
Only spotted them coming back, once I saw one I saw lots.
Mind if i ask...
Found what appears to be a small dak..... But it has a line running round it..??.. The ribs look dak. The line sinks in.
Any ideas?
@@nirvanamadpaul I'm impressed you walked that far!
Can't say from your description. Feel free to send a pic to my email arcuff @ outlook . com (spaces removed) and I'll see what I can do on the ID. Whereabouts did you find the specimen (that also helps narrow down the age)
