Fossil locations of Great Britain

Geological map

Please select an area of the country you wish to explore. The map is divided into a number of regions which contain locations where fossils can be found. Please note Discovering Fossils is an ongoing project to document the country and you may find some areas are not yet included.

Alternatively you can select the location of interest from the list alongside the map.

Map adapted from the British Geological Survey mapping. Maps are available to purchase from the BGS website.
