Hi Sorry some are only partial shells I have no idea of exactly what they are. The others are not clear, one maybe a sponge impression.

Lack of falls mainly, scouring tides removing talus and smaller blocks. What was available has been collected. I did notice that the beach has dropped by a couple of feet recently. I would like some cenomanian bed C blocks to come down as they are full of phosphatic ammonites.
