  • 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.

    4 WHITBY JET AND ITS RELATION TO UPPER LIAS SEDIMENTATION IN THE YORKSHIRE BASIN. Being a Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leeds. f so- Hemingway. June 1933, J .E . BEST COPY AVAILABLE TEXT IN ORIGINAL IS CLOSETO THE EDGE OF THE PAGE BEST COPY AVAILABLE Variable print quality ABSTRACT. The Upper Lias of Yorkshire as represented to the north and west of the Peak Fault, is a phase of aeposition of argillaceous sediments unaer varying physical conditions. The Grey Shales are shallow water deposits which pass gradually but rapidly into the finely laminated, bituminous shales of the Jet Rock, which were laid down under 'Black Sea conditions', but in water much s shallower than the Black Sea. As the basin was gradually filled up during Bituminous Shale and Hard Shale times, its floor rose into the zone of aerated water, when the poorly bedded Alum Shales were dpposited. Thes sedimentational conditions were interrupted by the deposition of an argillaceous limestone at the end of Jet Rock-times and by several beds and rows of masses of siderite mudstone, at varying horizons during subsequent zone-moments. The best 'hard' jet is found only in the Jet Rock, and is entirely composed of collapsed and compressed wood structures, soaked in humic substances resulting from the decomposition of the original wood. Annual rings, medullary rays, tracheids, ' bordered pits, stem bases and bark are all recognised in the jet. Some specimens of jet are silicified along a central zone, and here the wood structure is well preserved in an uncrushed state.

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.
