Wyke Regis- What Fossils can be found?

What Fossils can you find at Wyke Regis?

(Giant Oysters are common here) - 2001

Near Ferry bridge, (both sides) Kimmeridge Clay are well exposed along the banks. The flat oyster, Deltoideum sp.(seen above) is most common. Large excellent specimens are best found scattered around at the West end of Ferry Bridge.

Bivalve Ctenostreon and the smaller oyster, Nanogyra are often found. Ammonites of Pictonia are well known from this location. Worm tubes are common especially at the West end. There are quite a variety of fossils found at Wyke Regis, it is however sometimes difficult to search as there is a large amount of foreign material (rubbish) along the beach.
