Mineral Collecting at Seatown

 

It is not only fossils that can be found at Seatown. Like Charmouth, Fools Gold (Iron Pyrites), is very common. Many of the small ammonites you can collect along this coastline are actually also pyrite, which is why they give a 'gold' colour. Iron Pyrites can be found amongst the shingle, or within the Belemnite Stone Bed during scouring conditions.

Another common mineral found at Seatown is Quartz, these lovely crystals can often be found within nodules or boulders. They look fantastic and children will have lots of fun finding them.
