Eype is in a class of its own, the whole of the North Yorkshire Coast can be sumiarised in the rocks, technically most ammonites found in Yorkshire can be found here. The beds continue to Thorncombe Beacon. If you enjoy this type of location, you could try nearby Osmington Mills. |

Common sense when collecting at all locations should be taken and knowledge of tide times should always be noted. The main issue one should be aware of is the tide and the cliffs. It is easy to become cut off so it is important to return at least 3 hours before high tide. The other danger is falling debris. Rocks frequently fall so hard hats are recommended here. |

Microfossils are much easier to collect because they are so small that the vast majority of collections only concentrate on large finds. These small finds can simply be found by taking small samples of sands, crags, clays and soft rocks and examining them under a microscope. |
