The White Quarry is a former quarry that was in operation from 1902 to 1914. It was used to mine sandstone as building material. He became known for his finds of fossils, which were found in the sandstone itself and in the pitches in between. Fossils of reptiles, especially dinosaurs and primeval crocodiles, and amphibians have been found. No other quarry in the Keuper has such a wealth of finds. They date back to around 220 million years ago.
