(Balintore Foreshore) - 2005

This location is split into two areas, the first a mile south from south of Balintore Bay and the second is half a mile south from where the first Jurassic sequence ends. The first section known as ‘Port an Righ’ consists of upper Oxfordian and Corallian. Fossils can occasionally be found.

Towards where the first sequence ends there is a lot of shale with corals and coral reef on the foreshore with a hard ‘red limestone’ bed running through the middle. The red bed is where the Ammonites are found, these are well preserved.

The second sequence starts with Lower Kimmeridgian and finishes with Estuarine Series, Brora Coal and Lower and Upper Oxfordian. Nodules can be found with well preserved Ammonites and nodules can be picked up from the beach. From the brora coal formation, plant material has also be found here.
