There are a vast variety of shells at Seaton, ammonites and echinoids can also occasionally be found too. The best place to look is the fallen lumps of Greensand, especially then ones that have been weathered for sometime. Shells can be easily removed from these but are brittle and fragile. Another good collecting point is to look for areas of any 'Soft' Greesand, this is a dark green colour and trowels and knives can be used to search for shells. This soft layer is usually found at the base of the cliff where it has slipped.

Take a heavy hammer to break apart any lumps of Greensand, you never know what could be inside. Most of the sea urchin spines and Echinoid are found in the VERY large boulders which are extremely hard but weather badly. Removing fossils from these is quite difficult but most of the finds can be made by searching through these.
