What Fossils can you find at St Audries Bay?


(Ammonite fragment) - 2003 [Sent in by Terri]

Ammonites can be collected one meter above a bed of Oysters. The bed of Oysters is a hard limestone usually seen exposed as a platform on the foreshore, (depending on how built up the beach is) and are found at the Doniford headland. The bed of ammonites is the first of many at various intervals in the Lias at St Audries. Ammonites in this first layer of Psiloceras and Caloceras can be found. Ammonites of Waehneroceras and Laqueoceras can be found further west on the foreshore and are very common. Other ammonites and shells can be found but these tend to be in the beds higher up, cliff falls or searching through boulders on the beach is required.
