Walcott Quarry

Walcott Quarry is a paleontological site located along the coast of Norfolk, England, famous for its rich deposits of early Cretaceous fossils, particularly from the Aptian age (~125 million years ago). The quarry reveals well-preserved remains of ancient sea creatures, including dinosaurs, fish, and marine invertebrates, providing valuable insights into prehistoric marine ecosystems. The site’s stratigraphy and fossil content help scientists study early dinosaur evolution and the environment they inhabited. Access is limited due to its status as a protected site, but it remains an important location for understanding Earth’s deep past.
