As far as I know this is a unique area of ground but I still search in hope of somewhere as good or better!!!!

Wet but happy and two stones as well

Re: A day on the beach
Looks like carboniferous limestone to me Chris. Nice finds. Do you see any fossils in these rocks?

Hi Kev,
Yes I think its limestone but not one fossil to be found but a few miles away on the same coast there is loads

Hi Hưng, they are sedimentary limestone formed from the calcium of sea creatures 300 to 360 million years ago. They are not volcanic magma or lava.
I think I know the fossiliferous deposits you mention Chris. I remember collecting Gryphea (devils toe nails) Crinoids and Ammonites from cliff falls at Font Y Gary when I was a kid.

Hi Ogie
The stones are very heavy and solid! and don't I know it if I carry one back to my van.
Hi Kev
Thanks for your geological input I wish I knew more of that side of it. Porthkerry beach near Barry is where I used to find the devils toe nails, there seemed to be more fossils than stones in some places.

Re: A day on the beach
Ah, in that case it is a younger deposit. The Lias Limestone was deposited in shallow tropical seas 135 to 180 million years ago.

Re: A day on the beach
Hi Chris,
Nice to see you relax at the beach and hunt for stones aswell.
It was on November when we went to that hawthorn "paradise" and you told me that you only collect hawthorns on winter when they are dormant?
I like the first stone, its like an island with a cove. I got some small stones from the beach in Swansea, small but beautiful stones.
