Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at St Audries Bay
16th July 2002
This is an extract from the 'UK Fossils LIVE in Somerset 2002'
(click here for full report)

A new location in the morning to Saint Audries to examine the blue lias. Unfortunately no finds were made due to no recent cliff fall and a covered foreshore. During the afternoon, a revisit to Quantoxhead after previous successful years took place. The foreshore was silted up and no Bones were found. However at the west end of Quantoxhead, amongst the larger boulders with many ammonite broken parts and large molds, a small nautilus was found, it is around 4cm and is positioned on the side in a heavy bolder. It is unknown at present if the nautilus is complete, it will take some time for cleaning to take place. There may also be a second smaller one in the same rock, but it looks likely that the second is broken. A number of other shall s including a few pectin's were found.
