On a freezing cold, extremely windy Easter Saturday 29 people braved the elements to go fossil hunting around Tidmore Point. We were mainly looking for ammonites but didn't object to finding other fossils. Almost everyone was rewarded with am ammonite but most of us had to settle for small ones. One young man, however, found a beautiful pyritised kosmoceras (8cm in diameter). It made my 4 cm one look small, but its still my best find yet - oh the lucky lad! Plenty of belemnites, gryphea, worm casts and smoe small but complete oxytoma were also found.

Last Tuesday saw the first school visit of the year. 21 year 12's from the Arthur Terry School came and spent a few hours here studying the geomorphology of the beach. After a guided tour and lunch they went off to measure the profile of the beach. This was actually a bit special as the storms the previous week had washed away most of the ledges making the  profile very steep indeed!
