Wyke Regis

Wyke Regis (West), along the sheltered shoreline of the East Fleet lagoon behind Chesil Beach, is a productive Upper Jurassic site exposing the Kimmeridge Clay Formation. The foreshore and low cliffs can yield a wide range of fossils, including ammonites, bivalves and large oysters, along with occasional reptile remains. With relatively easy access and regular fresh material from erosion, it is a rewarding location for careful searching under the right conditions.Jurassic, Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦
