@Mackenzie-Smith just south of Edinburgh? I haven’t been down that way before, what type of stuff did you find?

Another photo from Coral Beach on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. As you can see, it’s a substantial amount of coral! See the previous photo for more details. #fossil

If you’re ever in Scotland, it is worth a visit to “Tràigh á Chorail” – Coral Beach, on the Isle of Skye. The “sand” that you walk on is not sand at all, but the bleached skeletons of a coraline seaweed known as Maërl. Some (living) Maërl beds are up to 8000 years old, and it grows at a pace of around 1 mm per year! Maybe not technically a fossil, but worth the trip anyway! Skye is locally known as “Dinosaur Island”, and I’m not doing it justice in this brief sentence, but for fossil-lovers, the rest of the island is not to be missed! #fossil

I did a study abroad for a few months in Scotland. Sadly, I was unable to make it over to Skye. But I did do some collecting in Abberlady which is in the eastern part of the country.

@teddy-reeves it’s actually east of Edinburgh. It’s marine and Carboniferous. Bryozoans and Lithostrontian corals (which are a colonial rugose coral). Pretty cool! You can surface collect but not dig into the layers.

Ammonites collected from Stone Barrow Cliff in Charmouth, near Lime Regis on the south coast of England. Remnants of the original shell are still intact, while other members have been replaced by what looks like pyrite!

This twig has several insects surrounding it that have been carbonized so finely that you can even make out the stripes on their backs! The Green River Formation is a fantastic area for carbonized fossils – the Florrisant Fossil Beds, part of the same formation, have some of the best preserved in the world. If you’re ever in Colorado, I definitely reccommend a visit!

As far as I’m aware, this is a Maple leaf. However, I’m no botanist, and if I’m completely off then please feel free to correct me!

Tooth belonging to a ‘Ptychodus’ shark. These sharks preyed on clams, so their teeth (as the one described here) were rounded, rather than serrated, in order to crush shells.
