Here I am heading out along Monmouth beach at low tide, to see the Jurassic Coast in May . I am seeing what I can find washed out by the sea , during quite a stormy day . Finding fossils is fun and as long as you follow the fossil collecting code of conduct ,you can pick up what the sea has washed out for you onto the beach . The sea does the work for you washing fossils out of the mudslides onto the beach. It’s important when fossil hunting on the beach to stay away from the dangerous cliffs . The cliffs are liable to fall suddenly and without warning. In this video I made recently I find a wonderful sea urchin fossil preserved in flint . With sturdy rubber gloves and safety spectacles I break this fossil out of the rock by tapping the rock with a hammer . You can’t prepare flint rock 🪨 so the “gentle” hammering is your only option .In the rock I pick up I can see signs of a worn seaurchin , a worn part of it can be seen protruding out of the rock . Come on a guided fossil walk with us if you’d like to learn more about fossil collecting along the Jurassic Coast.http://www.lymeregisfossilwalks.com The website shows you the private fossil walks we run along the Jurassic Coast.See our Video on YouTube Below ,thanks for that .

See our YouTube Video below on Jurassic Coast fossil finding .Its just after Easter and i go down along the beach- East Of Lyme Regis. The Easter Holidays have just finished after lockdown and people have returned home ,from their holidays at Lyme Regis . Some folkes told me they had found some wonderful little ammonites along the Jurassic Coast .Others said they found very little or nothing . So i thought on a quiet evening after the Easter holidays i would challenge myself to find an ammonite fossilised in the "fool`s gold."Join me on this little fossil collecting trip on the evening of the 19th April 2021-East of Lyme Regis at low tide. After an hour and a half of fossil collecting see what i find! Its all about being patient and putting in some time and work to find a fossil. http://www.lymeregisfossilwalks.com The cliffs are dangerous along the Jurassic Coast always beware of the dangerous cliffs they are liable to fall suddenly and without warning .Have a look at the fossil collecting code of conduct that is in operation along the Jurassic Coast . edit.

There are some extra large Spring tides on the South Coast this week .Mary Anning ( 1799-1847) was the famous fossil hunting lady of Lyme Regis. She would have had it in mind to be making the most of the fossil collecting during the Spring tides - in her time . The low tide time would have given her ample opportunity to make the most of the fossil collecting . All the beach would have been exposed as the sea lowered by a substantial amount. She would have stayed away from the dangerous cliffs . Her little dog called Tray got killed in a landslide. Mary Anning knew all to well just how dangerous the cliffs were at Lyme Regis. Hopefully, there will be some good fossil finds for people having a search for them along the Jurassic Coast this week -at low tide . It’s a great outdoor space to be in with plenty of fresh air !See our Instagram post every Monday about Mary Anning it’s at #maryanningmonday
