(Gault clay, ammonite) - 1994

The Gault clay contains a wide range of Ammonite species, both flat and thick. The best Ammonites are found in nodules and these are also the most well preserved.

The crab and Echinoid bed are higher up and unfortunately these along with many of the Ammonites are very fragile, these often break during cliff falls and are best collected by searching in the higher zones using a pick.

The Gault is also rich in a wide range of brachiopods, bivalves and gastropods. Crinoids and Belemnites are also commonly found.

In the Gault Junction bed and the Greensand, fish fragments, teeth and Ammonites can be found, the Ammonites are less well preserved, but teeth within the gault junction are well preserved. these break easily as the rock is harder than the fossil.

The Chalk at the other side of the Warren is also full of fossils, shells and echinoid's, worth a visit but not as productive as other chalk locations.
