Cliff collapse caught on camera

Good comment. But (sorry about this) yes. They are in the pile of stuff that fell down (if they are there at all) and will soon be swept away by the sea below, depending on the width of the beach beneath (if any). Any that are now exposed in the new cliff face will probably only be accessible by climbing (likely to be very dangerous) or abseiling from the top (slightly less so?)

Cornwall is not an area of the UK that is particularly good for fossils, despite it justifiably being one of the top tourist sites in the UK. The rocks are extremely old and are mostly unfossiliferous. Some offer poorly preserved fossils, but the coastline from Bude to Boscastle is an exception. It is well known for yielding fish, plant remains and goniatites.
