Herne Bay (Beltinge)

Beltinge, near Herne Bay, is one of the UK’s premier locations for collecting fossil shark teeth, attracting collectors from across Britain and Europe. The foreshore exposes the famous Beltinge Fish Beds, which can yield a wide variety of shark, ray and fish remains. While fossils can be found year-round, the site is most productive during very low spring tides, when the richest layers are exposed and large numbers of teeth can be collected under the right conditions.Eocene, Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦♦♦

Reculver

The sandy cliffs west of Reculver expose a different fossil world from the clay shores farther towards Herne Bay. This locality is especially rewarding for collectors interested in fragile bivalves from the Thanet Formation, with shell-rich beds and concretions appearing on the foreshore as conditions change. Tide planning and careful support of delicate specimens are essential. Eocene, Cliffs and Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦
