[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 150182, member: 157"] by walking along the Cliffs take your time and look up at what is in the limestone you will often see the fossils just sitting there almost out of reach. It is often worth while sieving the sand below an area where you see the fossil layer. You may be lucky enough to get fossils that have been weathered out, they are often intact and undamaged. Not always the case if you take them out of the cliffs. The area where we collected the teeth was from decomposing limestone and sand which was relatively easy to get out but in a very precarious location - we were on a small ledge with about a 15m shear drop to the River bank. The fossils from this area are Tertiary fossils from the Miocene era. Please take care when fossicking in this area the cliffs can be dangerous no matter how good a specimen is it is not worth your life. [/QUOTE]
