Welcome to Discovering Fossils - introducing the palaeontology of Great Britain. Written and designed for all levels of experience and intended to inspire further study of this fascinating subject. Discovering Fossils combines scientific knowledge and fieldwork to create a library of resources.

The study of the prehistoric world provides a lifelong interest that is as variable in discoveries as it is dramatic in length of time. From the initial building blocks of life to the birth of plants, insects, dinosaurs and even mankind, the science of palaeontology leaves no stone unturned. The initial study of palaeontology soon grows into a fascinating range of practical and mental challenges that enrich and enthuse the individual.

Fossils inspire the individual to consider prehistoric life in the context of former environments and appreciate how global events have shaped the modern world. Like the pages of a book, the fossil record provides a storyboard of dramatic changes in the earth's history, each period leaving its own unique legacy in the rocks. From this evidence the palaeontologist can form an understanding of a truly amazing prehistoric world.
