The Isle of Wight boasts many unique habitats, ranging from chalk uplands, large salt marsh estuaries and miles of clay cliff exposures. These are home to a high diversity of wildlife that we all know and love. However, the island has seen dramatic changes in its 130-million-year history, from dinosaur inhabited floodplains to deep seas and vast tropical everglades. A far cry from what we see today.
In this talk, local palaeontologist Megan Jacobs of Wight Coast Fossils explores the island’s geological history, its past inhabitants and how ancient events have led to the unique and diverse environments we see today.
