Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at Burton Bradstock
8th October 2002

A return visit to one of our most favorite locations in Dorset. There has been no new cliff falls since our last visit in 2001. However this has been our best trip yet with some excellent finds. By splitting existing rocks on the beach, digging in the fallen soil and bringing down Oolite from the top of the fall we also found the most fossils in any one trip.

Finds include many species of ammonite, two approx. 5.5 Inches (Parkinsonia Sp). Several Shirbuirnia stephani, one 4.5 Inches, A Nautilus (which presently appears to be complete, but further cleaning will be required to be absolutely certain), approx size is 5 Inches. Also found was a Sea Urchin, Shark Spine, and many shells.

As we have a large number of finds in need of further splitting and cleaning.
