Lyme Regis Fossil Hunting

Ойын-сауық

I am just heading along the Jurassic Coast from Lyme Regis. I have found a lovely sea urchin fossil find at low tide . It’s Christmas Day and that’s a great fossil hunting find for me. Its good fun to go and see the ammonites on the limestone slabs to the West of Lyme Regis, they are there for all to see until the sea erodes them away for ever. Its a very rainy day when i am out along the Jurassic Coast at Christmas. Look at the video until the end where i will give you some fossil hunting tips. I am doing guided fossil walks along the beaches of Lyme Regis. www.lymeregisfossilwalks.com Remember the cliffs are dangerous along the Jurassic Coast, they are liable to fall suddenly and without warning. If hammering any of the small layered rocks use protective eye wear and sturdy rubber gloves. To learn what are the proper small layered rocks to look for, then you can always join us on a fossil walk along the Jurassic Coast. #fossilhunter

    I never knew you could actually find fossil sea urchins and other Cretaceous materials in the Lyme Bay area... I knew the rocks there do expose Albian sediments, but never realised that people actually found fossils from these layers. Where abouts did you find your urchin? Would that be towards Golden Cap, or just east of Black Ven even?

    That’s the trouble you need to go out on the beach at low tide and survive for long enough to make a few fossil finds. If you don’t then your not in it too win it 🌊🌀. But my father a geologist used to have problems with his glasses in extremely wet weather which can really be miserable in this case

    We look for fossils along the world famous Heritage Coast - named the Jurassic Coast. The fossils here from the soft marine sediments have been discovered many times before and there are many names for all of them . Everyone is looking at low tide for a different fossil find, even a new species of ammonite .
