Categories
Redcar Beach is an often overlooked location on the Yorkshire / Cleveland Coast, but is one of the best places for unique finds with it’s rapidly eroding death beds and lower Jurassic storm sequences. With consistent mollusc fossil finds including many rare ammonites not found elsewhere, it is a very special location. The best way to understand the protected geoheritage of the site is with a specialist expert who can guide you through the geology of the bedrock and helps understand the loose finds that can legally be collected. On many occasions, visits to this site can also include a tour of the prehistoric forest, where trees buried several thousand years ago are preserved in a post-glacial floodplain of the River Tees
This suburban outdoor classroom is great for understanding the very early Jurassic period, as our planet recovered from one of the big Five mass extinctions.
