Pembroke - Where to look for Fossils?

Where to look for Fossils at Pembroke Castle?

(Block with crinoid fossils) - 2007

Most building blocks of the castle are fossilferous, so look in all outside walls for fossils.

The oldest surviving part of the castle is found within the inner gatehouse and keep area. It is here that the most spectacular effects of weathering are seen, with some truly beautiful fossil assemblages on show.

Also look in the stone steps of the various towers for fossiliferous blocks that have become polished over the years by people’s footsteps. Again, some indication of the age of the tower can be gleaned from the degree of polishing of the steps within.
