Kilve Beach

Today we went for a walk at Kilve Beach. Kilve Beach is in West Somerset, on the Bristol channel. The beach is famous for its fossils. The rock formation is made up from shale and sandstone,its amazing. Layers of history laid out in front of your eyes. The rocks date back over 200 million years. Its incredible when standing on the beach looking at the rocks and if you're lucky enough see a fossil, to think you may be looking at something that is over 200 million years old!

Today, we saw three fossils




The layers of rock, smoothed and eroded by the constant battering of the sea.
