Ketton Quarry is over a mile wide, its size has to be seen to be believed. The Oolite here is packed with ammonites, corals, brachiopods, bivalves, fish and reptile remains and much more. This is a superb location to visit.

Top Grange Quarry is the old quarry of Grange (Ketton Quarry), that has been turned into a geological trail for anyone to visit and collect fossils. It has become quire overgrown, but you can still easily find fossils.

South Ferriby quarries, used to be a classic site for fossil hunting. Since being disused, and the land privately owned, the sites are overgrown or have prohibited access. However, the back of these quarries are now being eroded by the river Humber. Public access to the cliffs along the river banks, will provide plenty of opportunity to find fossils.

The area around Skegness is a very popular tourist area. Whilst Lincolnshire is not great for fossils, rocks washed from the Holderness Coastline are dumped along Lincolnshire beaches. At low tide, these rocks can be seen at Chapel Point.

Anderby Creek is a large sandy beach, ideal for children. At low tide, rocks washed down from the Holderness Coastline can be found. They can be Jurassic, Cretaceous or Carboniferous and can contain various fossils such as ammonites and shells.

The southeast side of Rutland Water, at Edith Weston, has oolitic rocks around the edges of the reservoir. These blocks are not particularly fossiliferous, but do contain the occasional bivalve. This location is worth a visit if in the local area (for example, visiting Top Grange Quarry – see our guide to this site).
