Hinkley - Where to look for Fossils?

Where to look for Fossils at Hinkley Point

(Reptile Remains can be found in the cliff) - 2004

At the base of the cliff, bones can be found in the first metre above normal beach height. Often after high tides, these bones can be found by walking along near the base (please take extra care of falling rocks).

(Seaching the foreshore) - 2004

By far the most likely place to find fossils is on the foreshore. Ammonites are mostly found this way, but areas of shale can also yield reptile remains or whole skeletons.
