Iron pyrites nodules

[Everything Mac]

Hi all,

This is an embarrassing question to ask as a geologist;

Can anyone suggest a good place for finding iron pyrites nodules? I really fancy having a go with it.

I understand it is found in Chalk, which would put it on the south coast near me though I have never seen any.
I'd rather find one that buy it from ebay.

Cheers
Andy

I found a whole load of it in a chalk field on the South Downs a bit north of Brighton.

Hi, have a look down at Hengistbury Head, near Christchurch, Dorset, comes out the cliff faces down onto the beach.
Hope you have luck, its a real nice place to look around any way.

Cheers lads. I'll check those places out over the summer when I get home.

All the best
