Overview |
|||||||||||||
| These are some of the other fossils that I have
found (and that can be found) along the Charmouth coastline and the surrounding
area. You need to look closely at where you are walking as it is easy
to miss pieces...

Oyster shells |

Oyster shells in situ in the Belemnite Marl at the foreshore between Golden Cap and Wear Cliffs. |

Bivalves |
|||||||||||||
A piece of marl retrieved from the talus at the base of the Green Ammonite Bed of Wear Cliffs. Closer examination of the surface of the marl reveals at least seven 'opened' bivalve shells imprints.
A bivalve found in Black Ven Marl. The ribs of the upper surface show up well on the pyritised fossil.
Collected from the Stonebarrow Hill foreshore, this iron pyrite fossil has been identified as an Class Bivalvia Inoceramid, and probably an Inoceramus sp. [my thanks to Joseph Miller of Colorado for this info]
