The Great Geoadvent: Door 13
Described as the finest surviving purpose-built museum of its age in the country, the design suggested by William Smith, ‘Father of English Geology’. Smith’s pioneering work established that geological strata could be identified and correlated using the fossils they contain. Smith came to Scarborough after his release from debtors’ prison. The dramatic Jurassic coastline of Yorkshire offered him an area of geological richness.
Full of fascinating objects, the Rotunda Museum is home to Gristhorpe Man, a unique Bronze Age skeleton. Found near Scarborough buried in a tree trunk, Gristhorpe Man is the best example of a tree burial in the UK.
There is also the Speeton Plesiosaur – a fantastic marine reptile from the lower Cretaceous period, found near Filey. Scarborough’s Lost Dinosaurs is an exploration of Jurassic Scarborough and its residents.
