Hidden in Stone includes appropriate coverage of Wealden spinosaurids (the work of @christijanibarker.bsky.social @neilgostling.bsky.social myself and others), with replica fossils of #Ceratosuchops and items relevant to Bill Walker's discovery of #Baryonyx in the 1980s...

Thanks for the kind words! I've had luck at Bexhill/Hastings way (Cretaceous dinosaur bits, tree fern, fish; left pic) and at Bracklesham (Eocene sharks, rays; right pic). Bognor Regis is also a shout but beach conditions need to be just right. Feel free to get in touch if you want any details.

Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately your specimen is a piece of flint, but I'd happy to send over some places where you can easily find fossils if you're thinking of fossil hunting again

We used multiple methods to help identify theropod teeth from the Wadhurst Clay Formation of SE England, whose predatory dinosaur fauna has long remained enigmatic. Our results confirm an assemblage containing spinosaurs and dromaeosaurs, and we IDed tyrannosaurs for the first time in this unit.

An avid #fossil hunter in my spare time, I have been unable to shake off the compulsive need to look for prehistoric life that has gripped me since childhood. Expect to see bits and pieces from the south coast of England and abroad 🦖🐊🦑🥚
