- Join me on Day 2 of my Isle of Wight fossil adventure. I spend most of the day at Rocken End, St Catherines Point which is the southern most part of the island. This is where a large landslide has exposed big blocks of glauconitic marl at the start of the chalk. Its packed full of schloenbachia varians and other species such as mantelliceras and hypoturrilites.
Lots of hard work paying off, some great finds 🌊⚒️😀👌
Plenty at Rocken End. Preservation is a bit ropey on some though
Very interesting finds, can’t wait to see them once prepped.
Unfortunately a lot of the Rocken end stuff is not coming out so good. It's very soft and badly preserved.
Nice finds. Congratulations on surviving the treacherous trails of man eating brambles!
Thanks the brambles were pretty vicious!
Nice looking ammonites, even the bivalves and gastropods look like they are ready to do battle with each other 👍
It's a right jumble. I was talking g to a guy at Shanklin and he was saying the glauconitic marls were actually a redeposit of material hence why it all looks to have been stirred up
I wish lincolnshire had more availabe places to hunt, thats why i head for yorks coast, but it looks like a nice place for a hols n hunt where you are, good luck on your next hunt there👍
Great finds mate Rocken End makes you work for them ,good haul though ❤
Lots of chiselling but it's nothing like the ironstone.
Hi, could you walk from St. Catherine's Lighthouse? That path looks terrible. 😅
I think you can. I walked towards the lighthouse on the last video. It did seem to be the long way though. I wouldn't say the path was all that bad.
