Where to look for Fossils at Yaverland?


(Collecting from Yaverland - 2005)

Most of the fossils can be found during scouring conditions, or around the piles of hard cement-like material. These beds within the Atherfield Clay Formation are full of bones and teeth (mostly of fish). with a little patience and good tools, you can make some superb finds.

Search the cliff face too, dinosaur bones can often be found lying around washing out expecially after high tides and heavy rain. Search the tide line too, often fragments of bone can be found in the shingle.

 


(The Chalk - 2005)

The chalk too yields a range of fossils. Most of these can be picked up simply lying around on the foreshore in rocks and boulders.
