Photograph Notes: This beach is a rich picking ground for fossil hunters, and chalk rafts can be seen when exposed at low tides. The chalk here is only visible due to glaciotectonics that have elevated rafts of chalk and superincumbent crag above their natural position of about 10 metres below sea level. It is some of the youngest chalk in Britain and very rich in fossils. The stratigraphy at Sidestrand overlaps with the even younger chalk rafts at Trimingham. The fossiliferous mud below the village of Sidestrand contains freshwater mussels and the fossilised remains of belemnites (an extinct group of marine cephalopod similar to the modern squid and closely related to the modern cuttlefish) can be found on the beach > ://.uk/photo/2273306.
