What Fossils can you find at Culver Cliff?


(Chalk exposed on foreshore at Whitecliff Bay- 2005)

Starting from the West end of the Bay, the Upper Chalk of Culver Cliff yields excellent sponges such as Porosphaera. Echinoids such as the small Echinocorys subconicula and Belemnites of Belemnitella mucronata can be seen from the Portsdown Member. This is the top of the succession so it is best to search the rocks that have fallen from this thin marl bed. Occasional fish remains can also be found.

Around the corner of Whitecliff, Culver Cliff yields some superb very large Echinocory's and crinoids of Uintacrinus and Marsuites.
