  • Ammonite Fields Forever: from the Jurassic Coast to Collecting on the Beaches of North Yorkshire, England
    Ammonite Fields Forever: From the Jurassic Coast to collecting on the beaches of North Yorkshire, England by Rhonda Gates Once upon a time, just at the brink of an unfathomable and devastating year of death, anxiety, isolation and trauma caused by Covid19, four friends set aside their LRB hats for new hats: they became “Yorkies” and set out to collect fossils on the UK’s North Yorkshire Jurassic coastline generally and inclusively referred to as Whitby. This is the retelling of that adventure, “Ammonite Fields Forever: From the Jurassic Coast to collecting on the beaches of North Yorkshire, England” with Marie Angkuw, Deborah Lovely, Andrew Young and me, Rhonda Gates. ___ The dreaming of this trip began on the flight back from Lyme Regis in early March of 2019. The actual planning for this adventure began a few weeks later in April, once the 2020 tide tables were published. We then spent the next 10 months locking in airfare, our airbnb, researching and purchasing gear, and reading every book and online site we could find. Friends in Lyme Regis had mentioned that it would be very strenuous, with at least one site requiring a rope to get down to and back up from the beach. However, our friends had seen us in action collecting at Lyme Regis and Charmouth, so they assured us we could handle it if we prepared for it. So the next 10 months were also spent “in Whitby fossil-hunting training mode” which required building up upper body strength and embracing every set of stairs and hill in our path.

It is highly probable that in Viking times the entire settlement was known as Thordisa, meaning the beck of a woman named Thordis. Available for the first time in generations, Thordisa House is certainly the most distinguished along this stretch of coast. Its history stretches back a few hundred years with its early eighteenth century origins extended over generations: in the early 20th century with large bay windows; and later with a fine stone extension incorporating mullion windows and French doors. Now in need of renovation, this coastal house with its barn and extensive private gardens represents a once in a generation opportunity for an incoming buyer. • Detached family house of 4156 sq ft arranged over three floors • Discreetly situated behind a high stone wall in a private no-through lane within a quintessential English seaside village • Western outlook towards the arc of the sun, overlooking

    Dean R. Lomax Fossils of the Fossils of the Whitby coast: A photographic guide A Whitby coast: Fossils of the Whitby coast A photographic guide Dean R. Lomax The small coastal town of Whitby is located in North Yorkshire, England. It has been associated with fossils for hundreds of years. From the common ammonites to the spectacular marine reptiles, a variety of fossils await discovery. This book will help you to identify, understand and learn about the fossils encountered while fossil hunting along this stretch of coastline, bringing prehistoric Whitby back to life. It is illustrated in colour throughout with many photographs of fossil specimens held in museum and private collections, in addition to detailed reconstructions of what some of the extinct organisms may have looked like in life. As well as the more common species, there are also sections on remarkable finds, such as giant plesiosaurs, marine crocodilians and even pterosaurs. The book provides information on access to the sites, how to identify true fossils from pseudo fossils and even explains the best way of extracting and preparing fossils that may be encountered. This guide will be of use to both the experienced fossil collector and the absolute beginner. Take a step back in time at Whitby Siri Scientific Press and see what animals once thrived here during the Jurassic Period.
