Hock Cliff Hock Cliff is stuffed with lower lias fossils like the devil's toenail (Gryphaea Oyster) and ammonites just waiting to be collected from the rubble at the base of the cliff. However they are grey and crumbly and so don't make great specimens. We found an Ichthysaurus vertebra this particular day. There are some hovercraft waiting to go skimming across the mudflats in the distance.
