KINDRED SPIRIT... Whitby - a photo on Flickriver

KINDRED SPIRIT... Whitby

#AbFav_FAVOURITE_PLACES_THINGS💖

I am on the West Pier, looking towards the East cliff, and what a beautiful view this is... the spray from the waves makes it so moody.
The East Cliffs have lots of horizontal layers of dark and light rock—shales and sandstones.
The grey Alum Shales (in the bottom half of the cliffs) are the source of the famous fossils of Whitby.
They are rich in the fossilised remains of creatures which lived in the warm shallow seas of Yorkshire during the early Jurassic period (around 206 million years ago).
Ammonites, belemnites and a variety of sea shells are commonly found washed up on the beach.
Fossilised reptiles (evidence of deeper seas above Yorkshire 190 million years ago!), such as plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs, have also been found.
Above the shales, there is a layer of Jet (used locally for jewellery), which is fossilised wood from trees and branches preserved in swamps.
Other plant and tree fossils in the upper cliffs show that Whitby was on dry land again by the mid-late Jurassic.

Another thrill.

Thanks for viewing, M, (*_*)
