What Fossils can you find at West Angle Bay?

Crinoid fossils are by far the most common finds at this location, in fact whole layers of rock here are packed with them.

The rock outcrops on the north side of the bay are composed largely of crinoidal limestone and plenty of impressive fossils can be observed on their surfaces.

On the south side of the bay blocks of crinoidal limestone can be found. These sometimes have very intricate and well preserved fossils exposed on their surfaces. Along with the crinoid fossils can be found bryzoa, corals and brachiopods.
