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: ♦♦♦♦♦

Seasalter

The broad London Clay foreshore at Seasalter rewards patient searching among muddy pebble and pyrite concentrations. Many fossils remain concealed inside phosphatic nodules, including crustaceans that can need careful specialist preparation. Conditions and exposure change with the tides, making a cautious approach and a good eye more useful than expectations of an easy find. Eocene, Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦♦
