Starting around 126 million years ago the rocks record the best exposures of dinosaur material in Europe. Progressively younger rocks record a variety of animals that were living on the land, in the rivers, and those that flew above lakes and lived in the seas. Plants are also well recorded on the Island. These remains show that for much of the time we were once a lot warmer and further from the sea. The youngest fossils are those from the more recent cold climates of the Ice-Ages.
This story is displayed in the museum’s galleries for you to learn and enjoy. We are sited next to some of the oldest rocks on the Island – why not come and join us on one of our advertized guided fossil walks.
