Dura Den, Wooded gorge in Fife, Scotland.
A narrow 3-kilometer ravine stretches between Kemback and Pitscottie villages, with the Ceres Burn stream flowing through its course.
In 1859, geologist John Anderson documented extensive deposits of fossilized ganoid fish within the sandstone formations of Dura Den.
The sandstone cliffs and geological features of Dura Den provide scientists with valuable research opportunities for studying ancient marine life.
Visitors can access the gorge through marked paths that connect the villages of Kemback and Pitscottie while exploring the natural woodland.
A single five-foot-square slab of yellow sandstone from Dura Den contained approximately one hundred preserved fish specimens.
