Barns Ness - Where to look for Fossils?

Where to look for Fossils at Barns Ness?

(Barns Ness, foreshore - 2007)

All of the corals are within rocks on the foreshore. You can search the loose material, but must not hammer the bed rock.

Most of the best corals can be found at whitesands, and just round the corner, there are some complete bedding plains of corals which are stretch for many meters along the beach and are several metres thick.

Some very good corals can also be found at the small bay near where you park and just before the lighthouse on the foreshore.
