We have just read some more comments. Ruth told us all about Whitby Jet - it is a fossil, too. It comes from a tree called a monkey puzzle tree. We think we found some Whitby Jet, but we're not sure, it might just be a stone. We looked what a monkey puzzle tree looks like, here is a picture ( http://bonsaibc.ca/CONIFERS%20A-O.htm). We did see lots of jet in Whitby in the shops, some were jewellery, and some were carved like animals, but we didn't buy any.

Your blog is very interesting to read. We went to Lyme Regis to look for fossils but did not find as many as you did, I expect that we were not as well informed as you about what we were looking for. Carry on the good blog.

AuthorHello, my name is Toby. I am five years old, and I want to be a palaeontologist. I really like fossils, so I'm writing down everything I do with fossils! My Mummy is doing the typing until I'm a bit older, but she writes everything I say. Archives
