Cornwall is not an area of the UK that is very good for fossils, in spite of it being one of the top tourist sites in the South West. The rocks are extremely old, and mostly unfossiliferous. Most of the sites offer poorly preserved fossils of Corals and Crinoids. The only exception is Pendower Beach, which gives the chance to find trilobites (although rare), in Ordovician deposits. Cornwall is only for the enthusiast, that appreciates that even though the fossils are poorly preserved in Cornwall, they are just as important as they are so old.
