- Here is Mike Harrison with his giant “Jurassic Jigsaw. “You can see a lovely Crinoid Cup, there on his Jurassic Coast find - that Mike made recently. He has worked ever so hard to put a lot of the Crinoid fragments back together again. This film is an update of his work in progress ! The other film 🎥 I made of Mike finding this specimen I’ve included in this UA-cam video as follows - Mike Harrison has found the most wonderful crinoid fossil you could ever imagine. Here is just a fragment of what he has been digging up, in a mud slip. The area he is digging in and working on ,is like “soft cream cheese.” He has got special permission to do that work by the National Trust . Mike has another large fossil he found on Black Ven, that is the skull of an Ichthyosaur- in the Lyme Regis Museum. We will bring you more film on UA-cam of this crinoid specimen, when its fully developed.The best tools are your eyes when finding fossils. I recommend wearing safety glasses and sturdy rubber gloves when hammering the right little rocks. Remember the cliffs are dangerous and liable to fall suddenly and without warning. Keep away from the dangerous cliffs, the best fossils are washed out onto the beaches at low tide, by the sea's actions. Look out for the slippery seaweed on the ledges and rocks. I offer fossil walks along the Jurassic Coast on the following website, so feel free to take a look at the website I made, with our online fossil walks ------www.lymeregisfo... There is a fossil collecting code of conduct in place along the Jurassic Coast.

Glad you enjoyed it, I try and film 🎥 with my old iPhone when I can 🙌
So happy to see that in my lifetime. Well done Mike. And thank you for the updates Brandon 👍
It’s really great that Mike let us film that ! What a wonderful thing to see , a find of a life time for Mike ! I’m glad I could help him with the work for just a day , but it was awesome
A miracle. Wonder .😍 Unbelievable..... Indeed a huge fragment and yet nicely preserved . A specimen straight to the museum. Congratulations 👏 and best regards WT 👋
Thanks very much regards from the Jurassic Coast, Dorset
@@LymeRegisFossils An amazing find. Crinoids are beautiful 😍
I think they are beautiful as well. Some people don’t like them and I find that hard to believe . The intricate preservation of them is quite outstanding
A wonderful update on the crinoid fossil preparation - a giant Jurassic jigsaw to coin a phrase.
Thanks very much indeed Mike for the comments . I’m glad you liked the Crinoid update ! I will do a completion of the Crinoid follow up as well
Whattt??? I didn't know it was that huge my lord man that's incredibly beautiful!!
That’s one massive fossil Crinoid it’s mind boggling the sheer size of it !
Magnificent,well done to Mike for finding and prepping and you Brandon for documenting it all .Great effort 👍👍
Thanks 🙏 very much , I was very lucky to have that opportunity.
An amazing fossil find, probably the best find in many a year.
There's a huge amount of work to be done, I've no idea how you're going to display it but good luck!
Amazing the work that’s gone into that ! Thanks for your comments MIke
An absolutely fantastic find. It’s beautiful. Respect for all the work you’ve put into this.
Thanks 🙏 for your comments
Hi guys,I've been fossiling in charmouth since 1979,found some incredible fossils mainly iron pyrite but nothing on that scale.incredable.
It’s about the time I really started fossil hunting in a more dedicated way - 1979! It’s been fun finding the iron pyrite ammonites like you have . 🙌
Wow, this is so cool, some Museum MUST want this, it's amazing!
Omg this is incredible well done guys 🤩
It’s a great tide when your visiting For your Fossil walk in November! I will show you precisely how to spot Crinoid fragments in the mudslides! Mike @mikeharrisonfossils on Instagram is just working so hard putting that “ Jurassic Coast Jigsaw” of a fossil find back together again ! He is just so skilfully doing this fossil preparation.
Omg that would be amazing thank you 😊 🙌
Wow that is impressive piece. well done 👏🏼
Breathtaking!😮😍🌊As you listed what they were collectively I even thought shoal 🐠🐡🐟😄
It’s amazing 🤩 isn’t it , so well done Mike ! Very good ! a shoal I always like that name for fish 🐟
@@LymeRegisFossils Fantastic work and lovely word too 🐟🐟🌊
Amazing and beautiful!
The wonderful world of Crinoids is a beautiful one
Awesome... Thank you for this video.
Thanks very much I’m glad you enjoyed that
@@LymeRegisFossils enjoyed very much
Wow that's amazing😍
What an incredible sight to see ! Thanks for your comments
Honestly, that is the most spectacular thing. Can I buy tickets to see it??
Great stuff, I was lucky 🍀 enough to get to help for a day with the work . Filming the Crinoid has been really good fun . It’s not properly finished yet . So maybe Mike will display it in the Lyme Regis Museum at some point , along with his 5 feet 👣 Ichthyosaur skull that is there also he found ! I have an Ichthyosaur skull in the Lyme Regis Museum also but that’s just over one foot 🦶 😁
This crinoid plate is absolutely stunning! I know he has permission to dig it out from the National Trust but once it’s complete will he have to donate it to the Museum or other society?
It’s an amazing fossil find . Mike is just working so hard still to completely piece it back together again ! So maybe it will end up in a museum. Mike has fossils around the world in museums. In the Lyme Regis Museum he has a 5ft Ichthyosaur skull and paddle and huge huge back bones
Probably a very obvious suggestion (to everyone but me), couldn't the pieces be numbered for reference when putting slabs back togeather? Or is the material too wet?
Mike had some colour dot coding on the pieces . He has amazed me how he has fitted it back together so far . Numbering for reference is always a good habit to get into as well
@Lyme Regis Fossils Ah, and probably the best ref is the one mentioned in the vid - photoing the slabs in situ 📷 🧩
Camera phones are so handy . I missed out with having one back in the day , as they didn’t have cameras then 🙌.
now i'm in morocca here i found a crinoite fossil
The Crinoid fossils are wonderful
Jurasic coast??
The Jurassic Coast, U.K.
Süperrrr
Thank you
5:49 I was wondering why it was so broken up, now I see 👀 🧩
Thanks 🙏 it takes ages for these fossils to be prepared and put back together
