Cliff formation at Happisburgh
(Cliff formation at Happisburgh) - 2001

At Happisburgh, the Anglian Cromer Tills overly the Cromer Forest Bed formation. Most of the Cromer Forest Bed at Happisburgh is unfossilferious, but deep scouring can yield forest bed bones from the lower part of this formation at Happisburgh. Fishermen have trawled up bones of Ichtheosaurus from the Jurassic of the Cromer Tills. Such fossils can occasionally be found washed up on the foreshore especially after high tides, but such finds are quite rare.
