Ammonite Lyme Regis
See us at www.lymeregisfossilwalks.com Book a private fossil walk with us (when we are available) and we can show you the Jurassic Coast. The beach East of Lyme Regis is good for fossil hunting - at low tide. Check the tide times before you head off on a fossil walk. Always read and obey the caution signs that are on the way down to the fossil collecting areas on the beach. The cliffs are very dangerous so keep away from them! They are liable to fall suddenly and without warning. This video shows how to find a fossil along the Jurassic Coast using the best "tools" - your eyes! Many people come to Lyme Regis and say they would like to find a fossil to take home, if not for them then for a friend. You need some sturdy gloves and wellington boots with good grips for a fossil hunting walk along the Jurassic Coast. The ammonites preserved in "fools gold" are best left soaking in a bucket of fresh water when you get home. This gets the salt out of them. The fresh water should be changed over the three or four days you have them soaking. Then leave the fossils to dry in the air for three to four weeks so they are ready to varnish. I mix clear picture varnish with matt varnish 50/50 to varnish them all over with. Some species of ammonite last better than others. They look good varnished and really come up well. A little bit of "Jurassic Magic" from the World Heritage Coastline! Read and obey the fossil collecting code of conduct before setting off fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast, this is available online.Always wear safety spectacles and sturdy gloves if you are doing any hammering of the grey layered limestone rocks.

It's a great demonstration of just looking for fossils and shows that you don't need to take a hammer for finding them all the time.
Some excellent fossil hunting tips and some important points made about those dangerous cliffs, just in time for the start of the holiday season.

Brandon Lennon Lol yes! Good you are showing the dangers. Every time I visit I'm shocked by what people are doing climbing up plus their children too. They don't seem to realise what could happen:(

It’s one of those finds you need to make just seeing a glint of the pyrite ammonite keel that sort of thing. I walk with me head down
Please make a guide on how to find fossils at this area.

Jack Power thank you
Both wonderful places to look for fossils . I always pick low tides for fossil hunting there as the cliffs are dangerous. I find fossils washed out into gullies and rock pools in these places
Hey where is exactly the Jurassic coast

It is on the south Coast , Dorset and Devon
I went to Lyme Regis yesterday hoping to find some pyrite ammonites, I was looking in amongst the larger rocks but I couldn’t find any, was I looking in the wrong place? I did find a small vertibrae, that was the find of the day!

Well done finding the fossil vertebra specimen. We were on the fossil walk yesterday with our walkers and found some good iron pyrites ammonites in “the fools gold fields . “ Did you see my KZread video called “ Ammonite,” that specifically shows you how to find the iron pyrites ammonites at low tide

@@LymeRegisFossils thank you I’ll have a look for it. Do you own the little fossil shop up a little ally way? If so, I brought the megalodon tooth from you last year, it’s my prized possession 😁 do you know what the vertebra is likely to be from please? It’s quite a small one probably a 1.5 cm. thank you

You do get very small shark 🦈 teeth from the Cretaceous age , they are very small from the cenomanian beds .

The main thing along the Jurassic Coast is to beware of the unstable cliffs - they are liable to fall suddenly and without warning ⚠️ always go fossil collecting at low tide 👍
