Join the UK's 1st
Student Palaeontology Society.
GALLERY
DINOSOC may be a young society but we've already done a few excursions to some of the fossil sites in and around Bristol, Bristol Zoo Gardens and the Natural History Museum (NHM), London.
We've trekked through the mud and sand at sites such as Watchet and Severn Beach, so we can tell you where all the best fossils are and which areas to avoid. Many palaeo students got very muddy to bring you this information. We've also done a few scouting parties to the NHM and Bristol Zoo, (we're just that dedicated to trying to find the best activities for our valued members).

Playing darts, chatting and having a few drinks - it's smiles all round! | 10987650_1692054627680030_1155056203711565759_o |

Relax with DINOSOCWe are quite a laid back society - you'll find out just how much when you see how we organise things - but after a long day fossil-hunting, who doesn't enjoy sitting in the sun? | NHMWe don't just take you out into the field - we can do trips to places without mud, rock and waterproofs. We'll take you to the home of british palaeontology - the Natural History Museum in London. | A very nice fish.Although rare, you could find one of these and maybe even a better one. |
