Haven't been to Pett in ages I thought that cliff looked dodgy last time I went! Well done for being aware of the dangers and wildlife etc I've seen many people go right under those cliffs or tried destroying habitats! Hope ur finger gets better 😂
It’s one of my favourite beaches, wonderful little place to visit! Yeah it’s quite well known for having regular cliff slides so better to be careful down there, if you walk round to Fairlight cove there’s always new bits of cliff that have eroded away! Thanks, I always try to be mindful and promote looking after the wildlife too, much like yourself I’ve seen many people just blunder through destroying things or putting themselves in danger without a second thought! I remain hopeful people will listen and learns! It’s fine now thankfully, just a small bruise under my nail, I think I was mostly just being a wimp though 😂 Thanks for the comment! 😁
The flint fossil at 13 min is a regular echinoid, a sea urchin i think (Dome shaped).You can usually confirm by looking for little lines or double lines of dots that are holes where their spines fell out after death. I find quite a few on west sussex beaches, they come in Dome, Heart, Pincushion and Drawstring Bag shapes (best way i can describe them). Regular ones are the same when looked at from their 5 sides, irregular (heart shaped) are not. Irregular also burrowed and have weird hairs instead of spines. Many come from the chalk cliffs where they fossilised as flint among the siphonophore fossil chalk. The liittle creature you found was a sea anenome with its tendrils withdrawn, waiting for the tide, i find a lot in pools at low tides. Great video, always enjoy seeing what others find on the beach.
