Day two of UK Fossils Live, examined the Dorset Junction Bed at Eype, A`One metre thick bed which contains the whole of the Yorkshire Geology. Sledge hammers were required. Andrew and Paul found a star fish each and the rest of the crew collected ammonites, some which were spectacular. During the afternoon we visited Horn Park Quarry SSSI to examine the highly fossilferous Inferior Oolite, although collected was not permitted, it was fascinating to see the geology of this remarkable quarry. A third trip wad made to an unspecified private exposure which was rich in ammonites. Some superb specimens were found at this location, but the location remains top secret. We will be returning later during the week, but the location of this exposure will remain secret.
