The cliffs at Blue Anchor contain a thin Triassic bone bed from the Rhaetian Penarth series. This is full of reptile, shark, and fish remains, similar to Aust on the River Severn. There are plenty of blocks to split. Jurassic ammonites and reptile bones are also frequently found here. Triassic, Jurassic, Cliffs and Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦♦

The famous red and white cliffs that can be seen when crossing the River Severn contain a highly productive bone bed at the top from the Rhaetian Penarth series. This bed is full of teeth, and reptile and fish remains, and is the most productive Triassic site in the UK. Triassic, Jurassic, Cliffs and Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦♦♦

Wainlode Cliff is a less popular location for collecting fossils from the Triassic bone beds of the Rhaetic aged rocks of the Westbury Formation than, for example, Aust. The cliff height is quite impressive, but the problem is this location is more overgrown than others, and does not wash out as regularly. The taller cliffs also mean that the bone bed is inaccessible and unfortunately rarely falls.
