Is that a former German Bunker poking out of the top of the cliff?

 

Great finds! The In situ brachiopods are awesome looking. Any pics of the bone cleaned off?

Fantastic place to hunt! Sure makes my tiny little beach seem tinier. Wonderful finds! Pelecypods, brachiopods, ammonites, even a bone! What more can you ask! Beautiful.

Start the day with a smile and get it over with.

That is a fine looking piece of bone, Gery. The polishing makes it look much nicer too. Congrats on the find!

This landscape reminds you something you're nostalgic about ? Or went you there ?

The landscapes of coast line with cliffs Always reminds me souvenirs of holidays.

I just basically love to search for fossils at the seaside, whether it's at Whitby, Vaches Noir or anywhere else, it doesn't matter. And I don't get the chance to do that very often.
