Life in stone

RAMM's fossil collection tells an exciting story of life and evolution in Devon. Devonian plants and Triassic reptiles, Jurassic fish and Cretaceous sea urchins, Tertiary leaves and Ice Age Mammal remains - together they make RAMM’s fossil collection a unique archive of ancient life excavated from local grounds.

Donations of fossils from all four corners of the world are valuable additions to the collection and good examples of how life developed in other parts of the Earth in the past.
