Weston - What Fossils can be found?

What Fossils can you find at Weston-Super-Mare?

(Evidence of past life is everywhere) - 2004

Corals are the most common type of fossil you will find along this coast, the most likely ones you will see are Zaphrentis sp. which are cone-like corals and are found in many of the rocks, often in excellent condition. Crinoids can often be found but these are in most cases worn with the inside structure only visible. Bryozoans and fossil Algae make beautiful patterns on some of the rocks and Brachiopods & Bivalves can also be found.
