Me, Sue and Jerry went out with the Isle of Wight Natural History Society on a fossil hunt along the south coast today. It was excellent. We were looking mainly at the Perma beds and the ‘Cracker’ layers above them where loads of fabulous freshwater and marine fossils can be found. All of these are around 130 – 140 million years old. The perma beds have a complicated history involving all sorts of chemical deposition from dead lagoon creatures which has ended up keeping an amazingly well-preserved record of the activity in the surface muds of this time – everything from dinosaur footprints to snail tracks and worm borrows! The cracker beds are famous for their lobster fossils but these are pretty rare. But we did see this beautiful sea urchin.
