Original caption
What an incredible discovery! 🤩 We stumbled upon a massive shale collapse packed with fossil-bearing rocks along the coast. 🏝️ Hidden inside were these amazing Jurassic fossils! 😍 At around 185 million years old, and beautifully preserved with pyrite, they were an absolute thrill to uncover. We're delighted to have rescued another piece of prehistoric history before it was lost to the sea. 🌅 A huge thank you for following and supporting our journey! 🦕⚒️ Yorkshire Fossils operates in full compliance with UK fossil collecting regulations. 🦖🦑📍 We always recommend checking whether an area is protected before collecting, as the rules can differ depending on the location. 😊🐊🔨 #Fossil #Ammonite #Dinosaur #Beach #fyp
