  • 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. Most of my research has investigated how burrowing animals such as worms, molluscs, and crustaceans live in and on the seafloor, and how this has changed over time.

    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:
