“Fossil Shell Beach features a slab formed from a huge number of embedded various types of mollusks which can be dated to approximately 40 million years ago. The shell graveyard at Ban Laem Pho was once a large freshwater swamp, home to a kind of snail.”
Fossil Shell Beach (Susan Hoi) is located at Ban Laem Pho, 17 kms from downtown Krabi along the route to Hat Noppharat Thara. Long ago this was a freshwater marsh populated by clams and other bi-valves, chiefly little two centimeters long "Hoi Khom" or pond snails, which grouped and multiplied in such numbers that the dead formed a floor for the living. This process, repeated over eons, led to the creation of layer of fossils about 40 cms thick, called shelly limestone. Scientific test have established that the age of these fossils is about 40 million years.
