Bouldnor Cliff

The early Oligocene beds along the Coastline at Bouldnor Cliff (Near Hamstead) is highly fossiliferous in mammal, crocodile, turtle, crustaceans and fish remains. Molluscs, plants and seeds can also be found simply lying on the foreshore. It’s one of the most productive locations on the Island for Fossils providing a rare glimpse into life on land and in coastal lagoons around 33–37 million years ago.

Kirkcudbright

The coastline to the south of Kirkcudbright has low cliffs of shale, which is also exposed along the foreshore.
