The collecting of fossils can easily distract even the youngest of children for several hours. However, the safety aspects must be emphasised as many people get severely injured or killed around our coastlines and cliffs every year. Some particular hazards include: Unstable cliff tops; Rocks falling from cliffs Rising tides; Large waves It is also important to remember that the locations are not an infinite resource and should be treated in a manner that will allow future generations to have access to them. The following sites give details regarding safety and fieldwork codes.
