I am looking to acquire a specimen of chalk from the white cliff's of Dover
for my educational collection I take into school classrooms. I am told it
is currently a protected area with no collecting.
I see that tons of specimens fall into the sea

I want a specimen because of the micro-fossils

I know historical specimens have come up for sale

Surely there must be specimens available. Can anyone on the list help me
find an available specimen of Chalk from the White Cliff's of Dover?
