Insects
Insect fossils are extremely rare in the London clay of Sheppey. The paleo-environment was marine, approximately 100 kilometres from the nearest landmass and, it must be assumed, that although insects were carried out to sea by the woody detritus the conditions were unfavourable for their preservation as fossils.
