What Fossils can you find at East Wemyss?


(Block of fossiliferious shale with plant remains) - 2007

At East Wemyss, you never know what you may find as the spoil from the cliff is of many different beds and bands. Plant remains are quite common, you will see plenty of blocks full of plant stems and small leafs of the same species but there are also some highly fossiliferious blocks full of many different species of plants to be found.

In addition to plants, tree trunks and chunks of tree trunk can be collected around the foreshore. Shells such as the Unio can also be found in the marine bands.
