Bawdsey- What Fossils can be found?

What Fossils can you find at Bawdsey?

(Pyrites and fossils can be found washed in the shingle) - 2004

The London Clay here is highly rich in bird and fish remains, but reptiles and shark can also be found. From the Red Crag, molluscs can be collected along with derived fossils.

Bawdsey also has some of the most well preserved fossil wood in the London Clay and it is around this where the fish and bird remains are found. If you take samples of the clay in and around these areas, they in most occasions contain fish remains, bird or reptile. Vertebras are also common and can get to quite a size at Bawdsey.
