Speeton erratics !.   Message List

Hello all
Speeton erratics 'what you may say' but it's true, on the Holderness
coast you find material from the Upper,Middle,Lower Jurrasic,
Cretaceous, (Oxfordian, Kimmeridgian, Calovian, Hauterivian etc) the
list is not endless but if you like rocks and minerals then we will
have to go into another 'area'.
Is it easy to find these fossils on the Holderness coast? I must say
no because of nature.
Tide sizes - wind directions - sand on beach - energy in the sea all
have a bearing on the conditions of the beach and rock fields that
are exposed.
It helps a lot it you live near the coast - can see the beach, and
in my case I have been an angler for over 40 years - so
understanding the tides and the power in the sea helps a lot.
Has any one else found fossils from Speeton on the H.C?.
