minnbuckeye Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Would anyone know good reference material regarding fossils in the Jurassic Alum Formation, Yorkshire Coast. My attempts to ID finds other than ammonites has been disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My attempts to ID finds other than ammonites has been disappointing. This recent (2019) Palaeontological Association book is excellent. It does cover the whole Lias, not just the Alum Shale Member of the Whitby Mudstone Formation but probably has all or most of what you found and there's a comprehensive bibliography. Available elsewhere but here's the society's page: https://www.palass.org/beta/eps/shop/product/fossils-from-lias-yorkshire-coast/ You can try posting any specimens of course!

I enjoy trying to identify finds myself before "bothering" the forum members. In the end, I will likely post some specimens to keep members on their toes!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
