Where to look for Fossils at Kimmeridge Bay?


(Eastern end of Kimmeridge Bay) - 2001

The first section of cliffs do not contain any fossils, but the eastern area of the bay is where the fossil yielding beds begin. The best fossils are found along the foreshore amongst the shingle. Most fossils can be collected with any tools, and indeed hammers are not allowed at Kimmeridge Bay.

The best area to collect is at Freshwater Steps, but this is simply too dangerous for more people to visit.
