this place must have been teeming with life 167 million years ago. this area was once covered by a shallow tropical sea. living there were animals like starfish, sea urchins, brittle stars and its sea cucumbers. quite heavy old piece, isn t it? the site was discovered by local fossil hobbyists, nev and sally. seeing a slab of life. at first, the quarry didn t look too promising. we were finding very small fragments of plates of sea urchins just tiny, tiny fragments, though, nothing spectacular. when we got home and cleaned it up, he was like, oh, my god, sally. you ve got to come and see this. it was this beautifuljurassic sea creature coming to life. they are amazing! just like they were alive yesterday. with so many fossils here, the challenge is working out which ones to keep. the very best are now heading to the natural history museum. the team says it s the discovery of a lifetime.
it s the number of fossils that we re finding, but it s also the diversity. it s really unprecedented in geological sites of this age across the world. usually, on an excavation, you may get a handful of finds, but here it is different. scientists think there are tens of thousands of fossils lying in the mud. this place must have been teeming with life 167 million years ago. this area was once covered by a shallow tropical sea. living there were animals like starfish, sea urchins, brittle stars and sea cucumbers. quite a heavy old piece, isn t it? the site was discovered by local fossil hobbyists, nev and sally. seeing a slab of life. but at first, the quarry didn t look too promising. we were finding very small fragments of plates of sea urchins just tiny, tiny fragments, though, nothing spectacular. when we got home and cleaned it up, he was like, oh, my god, sally.
