Josh Macefield:) Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Like I said, just joined the forum, I am a very passionate collector and have found a lot in my local area. I would love to know what anyone else has found around the south coast so I can consider where to look in the future. Any preferable sites would be appreciated too Many thanks.

AgrilusHunter Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Welcome to the forum Josh! I can't help with locations in and around Portsmouth but there a a good number of folks here who I'm sure can point you towards interesting locations. Can't wait to see some of the nice stuff you've collected!

Kosmoceras Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Hello Josh, back in 2008 I found several shark teeth and a fish tail. The verts came from the Isle of Wight but the tail on the right is from the Barton Beds, Barton on Sea, Hampshire. Edit: Some good locations here - http://www.ukfossils.co.uk/hampshire.htm Edited September 12, 2012 by Kosmoceras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Macefield:) Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Have either of you ever searched on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent? It is meant to be pretty good for crustaceans, bones, teeth, shells and wood etc. I suppose AgrilusHunter, you won'y of due to the fact it is in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgrilusHunter Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Nope, no such luck.
