TomWhite Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Howdy all! Went fishing last night and because it was so rubbish I went fossiling instead! Handy when both of your hobbies take place on the same bit of beach! Strong South East winds had built the sea up coupled with a big ish tide and the cliffs were taking a pounding! Perfect for teethies! However, as perfect as it looked, the teeth didn’t want to play ball. The pick of the bunch was a 61mm C.Hastalis which is the biggest I’ve found or seen from Suffolk or even England. Has some lovely lighting strikes patina markings on it which is typical of teeth from the red crag formation. Rest of the teeth consisted of mainly smaller makos but nothing amazing. No photos of the cliffs, it was pouring with rain and pitch black. So here is a photo of the location in much nicer weather. Thanks for reading everyone!! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Nice catch! I sure would like to hit the English beaches in the winter someday despite the dreary weather.

Makes a great find even better!!
