  • Liam Herringshaw

    About Me:

    I am a palaeontologist – fossil-scientist – who mostly studies the evolution of life on the seabed. As such, I know very little about dinosaurs.

    I live in York, and organize the Yorkshire Fossil Festival, as well as running rocks and fossils classes for schools, museums, and community groups. I am also a writer, a cricketer, and a Dad, although not necessarily in that order.

    The photograph below is me explaining how the rocks were formed at Filey Brigg, on the North Yorkshire coast:
