Tidmoor Point

Tidmoor Point, on the edge of The Fleet lagoon opposite Chesil Beach, is a small but highly productive Oxford Clay locality. Best known for its pyritised and limonitic ammonites, the low cliffs and foreshore regularly yield a wide range of fossils, including belemnites, crinoids, crustaceans, fish and occasional reptile remains. Despite its modest size, it remains one of the most reliable sites for collectors searching for well-preserved Jurassic fossils. Jurassic, Cliffs and Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦♦

Maylandsea’s low banks and foreshore yield London Clay lobsters and small fish remains, often among naturally weathered nodules and shingle. The site records an early Eocene marine environment, while shifting modern silt controls what can be seen. Deep tidal mud makes careful route choice essential.
