Sharks and Shells Fossil Hunting at Barton on Sea

Join me as I hunt for fossil shark teeth and fossil shells from 40 million years ago. This is a place I love to visit and have been to dozens of times, the variety of shells to be found is incredible and it's unusual not to come away with a shark tooth or two. A wonderful place to come hunting, there are some gems to be found. This hunt is from September 2021. Hope you enjoy it!

Oh my god Chris your actually a mindreader I was searching on KZbin for fossil hunting at Barton and didn’t see anything interesting. But you saved my bacon this morning well done!. My progress on fossil hunting has massively improved. I found an unusual tooth like a cow shark at sheppy don’t know what it is? Do you know I searched on many websites.

I'm not sure about mind reading haha! but glad you found the video. Barton is a great location and very family friendly conditions. If they haven't changed it, the parking is usually free from end of September to March. Good luck. A brilliant resource online for identifying fossils from the eocene and oligocene is www.dmap.co.uk/fossils .

Turns out it’s called notorynchus something so I was right about a type of cow shark probably a baby from sheppie not microsized but visible enough for me to spot it along the clay cliffs of sheppie YAY

I am a volunteer leader for www.ukafh.com and I do a hunt at Barton every other year. I'm leading a hunt at Bracklesham and Lee on Solent in March and May. Similar aged fossils from both sites. I am open to doing private hunts also.
