We searched a Jurassic fossil beach and uncovered treasures around 180 million years old! 😱🏝️ From incredible Ammonites and sparkling Pyrite to ancient Belemnites, this fossil hunt was packed with exciting finds… but did this mysterious stone contain anything? You win some, you lose some! 🦕⚒️ Yorkshire Fossils operates in full compliance with UK fossil collecting regulations. At SSSI-designated sites, only naturally detached material, including loose slabs and nodules, should be collected. Fossils still embedded in bedrock must not be removed. 🦖🦑📍 Always research protected areas before fossil hunting, as rules can vary by location, and check local laws and site-specific guidance before collecting. Thank you for your continued support! 😊🦖⚒️ #fossilhunting #crystal #ammonite #fossil #fyp
