Past UK Fossil Live/Open to all Events at Aust
17 July 2002

A visit to the famous Triassic Bone Bearing beds of Aust, along the Bristol Channel. There has been very few cliff falls for sometime, there are very few rocks from the bone bed available on the foreshore. However a number of fish bones were found including a few teeth and rocks were taken back to be split. Brachiopods were collected from a few odd carboniferous limestone's lying along the beach which have been deposited from further down the coast.

A Third visit to Watchet was made, a small ammonite was found.

update:

Some of the rocks were split back at our watchet base and a small leg bone was found along with many coporites and other smaller bones. We still have a number of the slabs to split which will be done back home.
