Where to look for Fossils at Kilve?


(Getting an ammonite from a nodule in the lias shale) - 2000

Ammonites can often be found in the shale at Kilve, it is best to try to find nodules with ammonites in as the shale Ammonites are flattened and are often not of in very good condition. During the field trip of 2000, a couple of small Ichthyosaurus Vertebraes were located near to the nodule above. Bones can also be found in hard nodules scattered around on the foreshore, in 2002, UK Fossils found two more Ichthyosaurus Vertebraes, but this time instead of being in the shale, these were in the hard nodules. Kilve is similar to Quantoxhead. Walking West from Quantoxhead will eventually lead to Kilve beach.
