A short visit to Somerset.  Spent a little time looking for fossils in the vicinity of Ilminster.  This is the worst time of year as the ground is covered in vegetation.

Also went up to Watchet where the Lower Lias outcrop.  Plenty of evidence of an ammonite fauna in the shaly grey mudstones plus fossilized ripple marks.
