Reply to comment by Affectionate-While71 in Fossil hunting in RI by GoodJibblyWibbly

I tried once but didn’t find anything. Do you need tools to break open the layers?

The particular cliff is about 8 feet high and only a few seams have fossils. I recall a layer about 4 foot level. It’s crumbly so fingers only can help tell whether it’s worth exploring. I do use a thin putty knife to carefully pry out layers. But I also enjoy just beach combing the area for shards that have already eroded away.

Cool thanks I’ll have to try again more thoroughly. Beach combing slightly south is very good for seaglass btw, where the beach curves out next to the shipyard.
