Monday 16 January 2023 (Indoor Meeting): 'Jurassic Gems of the Yorkshire Coast'. Speaker: Liam Herringshaw. Liam is a palaeontologist, based in York. His PhD at the University of Birmingham (2004) was on the rare and problematical fossils of the Much Wenlock Limestone Formation, based primarily on museum specimens from Dudley. He has been a researcher at the universities of Aberdeen, Newfoundland, Durham and York, before becoming Lecturer in Geology at the University of Hull. Since 2020, he has been working with Yorkshire schools and museums, and is Director of the Yorkshire Fossil Festival. The talk will explore some favourite spots on the Yorkshire Coast, from Runswick Bay to Filey Brigg, told through the fossils and sedimentary rocks found there.
