What Fossils can you find at Doniford Bay?


(Ammonites exposed on foreshore) - 2003 [Dave D]

A wide variety of Ammonites can be found at Doniford Bay. The most common are the Arnioceras Ammonites, these are fairly small ammonites packed into the Doniford Shale.

Other Ammonites can be found at low tide, north of the line showing the Watchet fault. Ammonites of Psiloceras can be found and are very well preserved. There are a range of other Ammonites found collecting from round the point of Doniford Bay, but they are less common here. Many shells also can be collected.
