Beautiful Gastropod Fossil Found at Pinhay Bay. A stunning gastropod fossil discovered while searching the shoreline at Pinhay Bay. Finds like this are what make fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast so addictive. A Nice Crack… and a Hidden Echinoid! Nothing beats splitting open East Devon rock and finding a perfect echinoid inside 😅 Remote location and fossil luck at its finest.
