Thorness Bay exposes a continuation of the fossil-rich Hamstead Beds and Bembridge Marls, linking the classic Isle of Wight localities of Hamstead and Gurnard Bay. Although generally less productive than those better-known sites, the bay can still yield shells, plant remains, insects and occasional vertebrate fossils, particularly after erosion exposes fresh material along the foreshore and low cliffs.
