FOSSIL SPECIMENS DISCOVERED IN GREAT BRITAIN

The oldest known fossil specimens discovered in Britain date back to the Silurian and Devonian

periods (443 to 417 million and 417 to 354 million years ago). Fossils of different species can be found in
Britain, whose geological history goes back further than 600 million years, since in the past, it has
experienced both a tropical climate and an ice age, changes in sea levels, volcanic eruptions and erosion.

The great majority of the fields from which large numbers of fossils have been obtained lie in the south of
the country. One such region is Dorset, which possesses various fossil fields.
The rock structure in the region exhibits differing characteristics. But Dorset is particularly famous
for its coastal strip, known as the "Jurassic Coast" and consisting of rocks from the Jurassic Period and a
number of different fossil fields. Well preserved and fully detailed fossils belonging to hundreds of

species have been obtained from these fields. Every one
of the fossils reveals that living things have remained
unchanged over millions of years, and never underwent

evolution.

The quarry in Crock Hey is a famous fossil area in England. All the
fossils uncovered in this region reveal that evolution never took
place.
