Just something to share as this happens all over when it rains.  Keep your eyes peeled when walking by cliffs or take a closer inspection for some possible fossil riches!  Many of my best finds have been searching areas after rains or storms.

Yep, the UK has tons of marine reptiles and marine fossils for that matter.  We only have a handful of marine creature locations in the US and I have found a couple.  Of course nothing to that extent!  8)
