Thanks 🙏 very much for your comments

we loved seeing Mike back on the beach with yourself👍...even one of your "cost of living sandwiches" would have been better than him eating that rock though😳😧😂....we are down with flowers🌷🌷 for Mary on 1st November, high tide is by my calculations 8:19am...so what time would you suggest we could get onto the beach safely from the steps at Lyme🤷‍♂🤷

So true! I think on the 1st November 2023 you’d have 12 midday 🕛 onwards to head out fossil collecting on, until 3p.m ! It’s a good sized tide there on the 1st November ! You can go fossil collecting as a general rule of thumb, an hour before low tide and an hour afterwards here at Lyme Regis. Then again if a big mudslide cuts off the beach you’ve got no chance - as has happened. I’ve just been looking at the sign 🪧 posting for the statue, along with the council at Lyme Regis!

👏👏👏

The crinoids have some of the best fossil preservation ever along the Jurassic Coast 🙌

You should look for agates some day maybe on the Yellowstone river

What an interesting place you’ve got there

Any tips on keeping pyrite ammonites from oxidizing? I've heard soaking in vinegar works.

I’ve got a video called “ Fossil Ammonite Preparation.” That video I made on KZread and some others like this, show you what I do to prepare my iron pyrite ammonites. It’s the way I have always processed my fossil finds. But of course some ammonites I have found have gone and “decayed” anyway especially the Echioceras sp. Species of ammonite!

Full marks for effort, you just never know what the next nodule might have in it.
