I've have not been to Walton-On-The-Naze but I've just been looking at images and

reading about the area on line. It looks like a great place to go collecting!

Here's a link to a site that shows what some people have found there:

I have not ben to Walton-on-Nze either, but, like you, I would love to check it out. Just to even hope to find some Eocene bird bones. Made it to Sheppey once.. got a few goodies form there.

Here are the majority of the beach-found teeth and some of the larger/nicer teeth.

A nice I. hastalis and posterior meg from the London clay. [Edit: the mako is from the Red Crag. Thanks, Bill.]

Shark vert, a nodule with a fish vert and scales and a crab. Sorry about photo quality, I had to take these inside.

Some nice teeth there. The hastalis is from the overlying, Red Crag (Pliocene), though. The highly polished black teeth, are typical of London Clay (Early Eocene) teeth, which have been redeposited in the Red Crag.

Internal surface of fish skull,

Worn Otodus teeth,

Zanthopsis leachi crab.

Cheers, Bill. I'll change my labels.

Looking again I see quite a few polished teeth there, the orange/brown colours are from the iron content of the crag, so derived too. The obviously not derived teeth are certainly from the L.C. though.
