Public Open Afternoon at Kirtlington Quarry from 1 – 5pm.
Situated down Mill Lane opposite Kirtlington village green & pond. GR SP 494198.
Many fossils have been found here including bones & teeth from dinosaurs, flying reptiles (pterosaurs), sharks & crocodiles. However, the site is world famous for its Middle Jurassic mammal fossils.There is plenty of opportunity to find some of your own Jurassic fossils at Kirtlington as many of the loose rocks at the quarry faces contain lots of fossil shells and fragments of shells.
OGT executive members & young volunteers from the Wychwood V-project will be on hand to explain the geology and industrial history of this important site.Volunteers from the local conservation society, KWACS, will be leading wildlife trails around the quarry. No need to book. We will have a small stand at the event & will be providing hot refreshments.
