Bearreraig - What Fossils can be found?

What Fossils can you find at Bearreraig Bay?

The most common fossil at Bearreraig is the Belemnite. In the local fossil museum the collector had some stunning huge examples. After that the Ammonites and other shells can be found. The common and best persevered ammonite is Ludwigia, there is an entire layer about a foot thick with a mass grave of them. Hit that layer and you'll find lots of them.
