Hopes Nose - What Fossils can be found?

What Fossils can you find at Hopes Nose

(Dunrobin Castle with the foreshore below)

The Corals and Bryozoans from the Devonian Rocks of Torquay are well documented. Some of the best corals and Bryozoans come from here. They can be quite hard to see, but once you find one you are bound to find many more. Trilobites and Bivalves can also be found but are much rarer. They clean up very well, corals in Limestone can be polished. Other fossils that can be collected include Crinoids and Stromatoporoids.
