More Cambridgeshire Guides

Famous for its high number of reptile remains, this location has been the site of some complete skeletons in the past, but also yields fish remains, ammonites, belemnites, bivalves, brachiopods and crinoids.


Grafham Water was formally a quarry, now turned into a large lake with water sports and a nature reserve. Today, fossils can be found plentiful along the banks of the lake and during summer months when the water level is at its lowest. Ammonites, Belemnites and much more.


A superb site for echinoid's from the Upware Limestone, but access is now very difficult. The owners used to allow access regularly but now they rarely let anyone collect. This important site also yields brachiopods and bivalves.


Once a very active quarry, but now a lake with exposures of Oxford clay round the edges and in stream channels. This location yields belemnites, crinoids and occasional ammonites but now the once common reptile remains are rare.
