About Egham Museum

Mostly of fossils such as flint moulds of bivalves and echinoids (sea urchins) derived from the chalk (U.Chalk). Some of these have been found locally within the Thames gravels (from local gravel pits) and others as isolated finds from peoples' gardens.
In addition there are Jurassic ammonite fragments and an icthyosaur vertebra, probably from (glacial) boulder clay.
There are also one or two non-local fossils. The horn core of an auroch (wild ox) found in Thorpe Gravel Pit is probably the most recent (geological) item. It may have lived no more than 6-7000 years ago.
