Where should I look for fossils?
The foreshore
Fossils can be washed up onto the beach by
the sea. Look out for flints which could contain
fossils.
Amongst the shingle
Fossils can be hidden amongst the shingle on
the beach, washed up from below sea level
and left amongst the shingle for you to
discover.
Under rocks
Make sure you check underneath large rocks,
as there might be a fossil hidden from view.
On the tide line
The tide line is a great place to find fossils that
have been newly washed up, and you might be
able to beat others to the best finds!
Good Luck!
