A FUN day with fossils captivated visitors to the Yorkshire Museum.

The Fossil Roadshow visited the attraction, based in the Museum Gardens, York, and invited fans to bring along items from their own collections and get to grips with some stunning exhibits. Craft activities and a fossil lottery also helped drawn in the crowds to The Lab, the museum's interactive learning space.

Those who brought in fossils to the show, on Saturday, got in free. The roadshow will return on Saturday, September 16.
