fossils you can find on the deep history coast
Fossil hunting is an exciting activity as you may well find a piece of history dating back millions of years! There are many different types of fossils you can come across along north Norfolk's Deep History Coast, each telling a different story about the creatures that lived here.
The rough weather eroding the shoreline during Spring, Autumn and Winter means this is a great time to go fossil hunting (and the beaches are less crowded). Make sure you check tide times before you set off; a falling tide is the safest and most rewarding time on the beach.
See below for the sorts of fossils you’re likely to come across along the Deep History Coast. And if you need help identifying your finds, check the app or our fossil identifier guide. You can also take your fossils along to Cromer Museum.
