Here are some of the mistakes you can make when fossil collecting -along the Jurassic Coast. You only have a brief opportunity to collect fossils at low tide, so its important to optimise your fossil collecting time on the beach. See the YouTube video its called "10 Fossil Hunting Mistakes."There are some pointers there as what to look for as well, in the right fossil bearing rocks on the beach. Our YouTube Channel is "Lyme Regis Fossils." You can see our longer fossil hunting videos on this channel, thanks for watching.

I have learnt a lot during the 5 years i have worked with the wonderful Anya and Evie-on their Mary Anning Rocks project. Their sheer determination to get a statue of Mary Anning up in Lyme Regis has come to fruition. I am a trustee of Mary Anning Rocks, see also their campaign on instagram @maryanningrocks. You must see the statue at Lyme Regis to totally value the amazing position that it is in. The sculpture will have amazing changing Jurassic Coast scenery in the background, and will be photographed in all weathers. I don`t think photographs and film really do the statue justice. You need to visit the statue and see the wide vista that surrounds this work of art.

Join me at low tide along the Jurassic Coast-East Of Lyme Regis,Dorset. See professional fossil collector Mike Harrison with a large and rare block of ammonites he has recently found. He has saved some beautiful fossils that have ended up in Museums. The sea erodes the fossils rapidly on the shoreline if not collected. The big eroded ammonites are to be left for everyone to see. On occasion a bed of ammonites erodes out of the landslides and these end up on the beaches. There is a fossil collecting code of conduct along the Jurassic Coast, you can see that online.
