(Plesiosaurus bone) - 1994

Watchet is a good location for collecting bones from Plesiosaurus and Ichthyosaurus, though fresh cliff falls are often required. The bone above was found in a bolder on the beach foreshore.

Bivalves, including scallop shells, oysters and gryphaea are also common at Watchet. Crinoid slabs are also common around Warren Bay.

Many Ammonites can be found, though they are mainly broken unless you are luck enough to arrive after a fresh cliff fall. Ammonites can be found scattered amongst the foreshore, usually they are mostly just fragments, but occasionally, you will get an Ammonite is a small nodule, or if lucky a complete Ammonite which has fallen out of its nodule. The second prime location for where the Ammonites are found is at the location from where most of the bones are found, past the major fault which has been undercut by the sea where the lias start again. Ammonites are also often found within the fine shingle heading towards Blue Anchor.

(Bedding structure) - 2003

The rock (shale) in the bottom layer (photograph – bedding structure) is extremely soft, wet and fractures into fine sheets when stressed. In some areas this shale contains imprint Ammonites (up to a foot in diameter).

A number of small whole and sections of larger pearlised Ammonites can also be found from this layer scattered around the rock platforms.

Rocks from the Triassic Blue Anchor bone bed, can also be found which contains fish, reptile and shark remains.
