(Yarmouth Cliffs and Foreshore) - 2005

The main place to look at Yarmouth is along the foreshore. Tiny teeth and small remains including crocodile, turtle and fish can be found by getting on your knees and searching within the shingle on the foreshore. Especially at the base of the cliff and along the tide line. Fossils can be found at both access points either along Bouldnor Cliff or near Yarmouth. Often if you stay in one area you can pick up lots of teeth and fragments of bone without moving too far.

It is also best to examine the areas which the sea has been recently washing out, often remains can be found simply lying around the clay areas.

For larger mammilian remains, turtle and croc fragments, walk along the foreshore from Yarmouth to Boldnor Cliff towards Hamstead. There is such a wide stretch of coastline, that if you continue as far as you can towards Hamstead, since this is such a long walk, most people only collect at the start of Yarmouth or Hamstead. You are more likely to find the larger fragments in the middle between Hamstead and Yarmouth.

You can also sieve or take samples back for home sieving of the Hamstead Formation. This bed is full of fossil seeds, many different species of mollusc and small teeth.
