English Cliff Meg

[TomWhite]

Hello all!
Headed down the local beach after work, had a little look over the London Claybeds but nothing good was about. Headed up the beach to the red crag cliffs which have been collapsing a lot. Started looking over the slump piles at the bottom of the cliff picking up a few small teeth and bits of ray plate. Scrambled up the slump pile a little bit to the phosphate nodule bed and spotted this in the sand...oooo I thought, that looks interesting.

 

Dug it out and with a bit of spit this soon appeared.

 

 

Was only 74mm long but was in a lovely condition for a red crag tooth. Spent another ten minutes in the slumps but my hunger got the better of me and I headed home. 
Thanks for reading everyone!

I absolutely LOVE seeing non-US megs! They're just so common here that they really just aren't as cool. Rarity is what gets me going! Big congrats!
