Hock Cliff Fossil Hunt

We are going on a fossil hunt to Hock Cliff in Gloucestershire! We'll be finding amazing fossil "devil toenails" (Gryphaea arcuata), pyrite ammonites and hopefully some shark teeth and marine reptile bones from the early Jurassic. Tickets will be released at 6 PM sharp on Wednesday evening, first-come first-serve* and will cost £5 each - though you will need to bring this money in cash on the day of the trip. 

* NOTE: tickets for this hunt are very limited, so we'd really like to keep this trip available to people that have not yet had the chance to join us on a fossil hunt. So if you were on one of our previous trips, please consider missing out on this one (and make sure you'll be free for the residential!).

We'll be leaving from the usual departure spot (in front of Merchant Venturer's Building, at the junction of Woodland Road and Cantock's Close) at 9 AM, and should be back by around 3 PM. 

Things to bring with you:

  • Warm and waterproof outdoor clothing as it will be cold and might rain a little
  • Wellies are highly recommended as the site is very muddy (hiking boots might just be about okay - but trainers will definitely get ruined here!)
  • Water to keep hydrated, and snacks or lunch for when you get hungry
  • Plastic bags to store your fossil finds in
  • Hammer and goggles if you have your own (but if you don't, we will provide some for you!)
