(Fallen blocks of chalk) - 2007

The best collecting is carried out by investigating the many fallen blocks of chalk at the base of the cliffs. These are slowly eroded by the sea and are constantly revealing new fossils. After strong winds the blocks are often turned over by the waves, presenting fresh surfaces to examine.

It is worth breaking open larger blocks that show evidence of broken echinoids on their surfaces, as these may contain complete examples on the inside. In some places there is a wave cut platform although this is often obscured by sand. Fossils can also be found in the cliff, but are hazardous to collect due to the risk of falling rocks.

The site is most productive after scouring conditions when the wave-cut platform is fully revealed and the chalk blocks have been turned over. On other occasions plenty of patience and a thorough investigation of as much of the chalk as possible should ensure a few good finds.
