Talk: Seashells & Sea Monsters - A dive into the Jurassic Oceans with Fossils in t’Hills

The Tom Leonard Lectures return for a new season with the fantastic Fossils in t'Hills team.

Ever fancied taking a dip into the Jurassic seas of Yorkshire?

Find out why this might not have been the most sensible idea…

We’ll explore the rocks of the Yorkshire and Cleveland Coast using the bones, shells and other clues to piece together a story from around 200 million years ago.

We’ll explore both large and small creatures – from the mighty ichthyosaur Temnodontosaurus to the plucky little mussels eking out an existence as the world faced a mass extinction!

And we’ll even explain why everything smelled of rotting eggs!

Doors open: 1.30pm

Talk starts: 2pm

Talk ends: 3.30pm
