Rock Pools and Fossils

Kilve, Somerset

Kilve beach is part of the Blue Anchor to Lilstock site of Special Scientific Interest, and is a good place to find fossils or to go rock-pooling.

On the shore a Saint Keyne serpent can be seen, which a local legend says is a snake turned to stone, but is in reality an ammonite.

Along this coast the cliffs are layered with compressed strata of oil-bearing shale and blue, yellow and brown lias embedded with fossils. (Wikipedia)

I loved all the patterns and have linked this with a song by The Last Shadow Puppets called 'Pattern'
