Ramsholt

Ramsholt is one of the best fossil sites in Suffolk, exposing a diverse range of deposits from the London Clay, Red Crag and Coralline Crag. The foreshore yields shark teeth, shells, corals and echinoids, along with more exceptional finds such as complete crabs, lobster remains and fish material from the basement bed. With multiple fossil-bearing layers present, it offers a varied and highly rewarding collecting experience, particularly after favourable tides and erosion.Eocene, Pliocene, Cliffs and Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦♦♦

Broom Pit

Broom Pit, west of Orford, preserves unusually shelly Pliocene Coralline Crag. Its cross-bedded sands, bryozoans and contrasting weathered layers record an ancient shallow sea and later changes in fossil preservation. This woodland pit is private, so permission and an agreed approach are essential before a visit. Pliocene, Disused Pit, Rating: ♦♦♦♦♦
