A famous but now over-collected location, once yielding a rich variety of plant remains in the coal measures. It can be hard to find and often, the beds are so over collected that fossils are now hard to find.
Plant remains
At Annbank, exposures can be found on the left hand bank of the river Ayr. The exact location is just opposite Annbank village with a second exposure just South of the old piers, 1 mile north of Tarholm Bridge. There is access down to the river, but it is well hidden. Access can be made from Annbank iteself by a footpath. Visit when water levels are low, and collecting will be both safer and more productive. Please take care as the sides can be quite steep. This is NOT a location suitable for families or children.
