Long buried treasure! I have never been to this part of the coast before, looks great. Yet another area to explore.

hi Ian

these were about 12 inch diameter, but impossible to extract to home. This area of coast also boasts marine reptile remains, not that I was that lucky ;)

thanks for viewing

Shame, a friend dug a huge Ammonite up on their farm 3 foot across (must get a picture) which I covet but its way too heavy to steal!

Durdle door area in Dorset has more Jurassic rocks including a fossil forest.

Greetings Ian

Thanks Amelia. I was hoping for some reptile bones, but fate wasn't kind that day. There are several miles of fossiliferous beds along this coast from Hinckley Head to Watchet to scour though.
