Hand Hills, Alberta:- For petrified wood and Hand Hills agate- east of the Red Deer River valley and north east of Drumheller on Verdant Valley Road go east and up into the hills. Many of the local gravel pits are accessable and the ajacent fields are worth a look wherever you see gravel concentrations.

Peterborough, UK. Oxford clay outcrops in old abandoned brick pits. They abandoned them once they got to a layer that has so many fossils in that thebricks ignite when they fire them. Marine environment, possibly shallow estuarine tropical environment. 120 - 180 million years. Marine reptiles (most pliosaurs and ichthyosaurs in worldwide museums come from here 9sadly most found over 100 years ago when they excavated the clay by hand. Lots of ammonites and belemnites. Ammonites in two conditions - poor, in the paper shales. Near perfect iron pyrites specimens that do not decay with storage. Walking the exposed clay surface results in finds of fish teeth (rare) large reptile bones and teeth - ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs & pliosaurs. recent find - first Pachyocostasaurus dawnii found here two years ago. I have a piece from a year before it was discovered - pitty that i just thought it was a nice shaped erratic. Belemnites up to 14 inches, mostly in pieces, but all present and repair is possible. Lots of marine arthropod shells - usually an indication that they were feeding - so worth a look to find reptile bones. Crocodiles also present, mostly scutes. a mate found a leedsichthysis ? (fish) gill raker four times bigger than the next largest one found. Considering they calculated that the thing was 40 feet plus in length from the smaller piece, I wonder how big they really grew to. Clay covered with a layer of glacial gravel. Pleistocene mammals found in this. Mostly elephants, rhinoceras and deer. Difficult to locate exposed gravels, most are working pits. Unfortunately, now that the brick pits are closing down, developers are moving in to build houses on top of my fossils. (have I typed this in the right place?>
