What Fossils can you find at Hunstanton?

Large Ammonite
(Large Ammonite) - 2002

The fossils from the Red Rock are similar to those of the Gault. Among the Ammonites may be noted, Beudanticeras Sphaerotum, Euhoplites ochetonotus and Hoplites canavariformis. The red rock here also yields corals such as the Solitary coral, Trochocyathus sp, Scaphopods (Dentalium decussatum), worm tubes (Serpula umbonata), Bivales including Inoceramus anglicus and Neithea sp. and the Brachiopod Moutonithyris sp. Belemnites are also common with Neohibolites minimus and Actinocamax plenus being the most common.

From the Lower Chalk, fish and Shark remain are well known from Hunstanton, species of Hexanchus gracilis, Scapanorhynchus subulatus and Cretolamna appendiculata can all be found together with echinoids, Sea Urchin spines, brachiopods such as Ornatothyris sp, worm tubes of Serpula sp, bivalves of Inoceramus sp, corals, Ammonites and sponges.

Ammonites from the Basal Carstone Bed are sometimes washed up and exposed on the foreshore, these are in superb condition but unfortunately quite rare.
