(Collecting is best near 'The Rope') - 2002

There is a wide range of fossils to be found at Ramsholt. One of the best collecting spots seems to be near the tree with a Rope' hanging, there is a mixture of fossils in this area, sharks teeth from the London Clay & Derived from the Red Crag along with Crab's both whole and pieces. Ray plates and fish teeth are also very common hear. Expect to find almost anything as this is an excellent site for London Clay collecting. Look hard, especially around the trees as fossils get caught under the branches.

Usually along the shoreline at the cliff base you may find wonderful corals from the Coralline Crag, These are usually in excellent condition and can be cleaned to a bright-white when soaked or bleached to look even better. These corals can also be found amongst the shingle and clay especially around 'The Rope' area at the western end of Ramsholt during scouring tides.

(Searching in the London Clay Basement Bed) - 2003

When the Basement Bed is scoured out, you should find a layer full of pebbles, within this layer are the crabs, sharks teeth, ray and other fossils. The best beds are those near the rope and yield a vast number of teeth and crabs. These fossils are then washed down from the bed and deposited along the foreshore.

(Mixture of Red Crag shells, derived fossils, London Clay & Coralline Crag) - 2002

At the West end of Ramsholt, Crag Shells are exposed along the entire beach, many derived sharks teeth, ray plates and other fossils can be found amongst the shells. There is a wide range of shells from both crags which make ideal collecting for any crag shell enthusiasts. There is such a vast amount of collecting to be done, you may spend hours at Ramsholt and still only search a very small percentage of the entire location.
