Walton-on-the-Naze is Famous for yielding fossil bird remains, large sharks teeth and plant remains from the London Clay, whilst boasting the best coastal location for collecting Red Crag fossils in the UK. A unpredictable location of variety.


Burnham-on-Crouch has yielded an incredible variety of fossils, you just never know what you may find. Various sharks species (teeth and vertebrae most common), crabs, seeds, fish remains (including ray teeth), and much more.


What looks like a flat beach behind a concrete sea wall actually yields plenty of Sharks and fish teeth, plant remains and much more. People have been collecting here for years. This location is subject to beach conditions.


The most productive location for Lobster fragments, found in small yellow nodules, this small location with its tiny cliffs can bring some nice surprises. Sharks teeth and fish remains can also be found. There are several species of lobster to be collected. UK Fossils first public event.


Along the Wrabness shores, after scouring tides or stormy seas fossils are washed up from both the Quaternary age, bones of Deer, horse and Whale found and from the Pleistocene, Beetles, turtle, shells, shark and fish teeth within cement stones. Its a case of you have to be here at the right time.
