A museum curator says there has been a boom in fossil hunting on the north Norfolk coast during lockdown.
Dr David Waterhouse of Norfolk Museum Services said Cromer Museum had received many emails from the public during the time it has been closed, asking them to identify and help with people s new found treasure.
He said signage put up as part of the Deep History Coast project was also helping to encourage the rise, as residents begin to understand what is on their doorstep.
