Bexhill - fossil hunt - Sunday 24th - 12am until 16.00pm.
I put the end date the same as the start date which i thought my be a problem , the calendar date i put in was 02 month / 24 date / 2013 year.
could you add these details for me:
Dinosaur footprints can be seen during scouring conditions at Bexhill. During November 2000, when stormy weather shifted large quantities of beach material and exposed a siltstone bedding plane, footprints (including a sequence of tracks from Iguanodon) could be seen. The sand has never been fully replenished since the storm, so the Wadhurst Clay is always exposed on the foreshore.
Two species of crocodile can be found at Bexhill - the more common Goniopholuis, but also the rarer and smaller crocodile, Bernissartia. Turtle and fish remains can also be found here, as can dinosaur remains.
Search the exposed clay on the foreshore. The best beds are the lowest, which are visible during extremely low tides. This is why it is a good idea to collect here during spring tides.
