  • This is what I would like to find out along the Jurassic Coast today -a lovely little iron pyrite ammonite . Come fossil hunting with me in early May at the end of the bank holiday.Learn how i find some iron pyrite ammonites in certain concentrations of 'fools gold,' along the beach .I hope you find some fossils along the Jurassic Coast-at low tide.Have a look at some of the fossils you can find along the Jurassic Coast in this video.The best tools are your eyes when finding fossils. I recommend wearing safety glasses and sturdy rubber gloves when hammering the right 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.lymeregisfossilwalks.com There is a fossil collecting code of conduct in place along the Jurassic Coast.

    Great video and finds! I bet when people buy fossils from your shop they need a sturdy bag sometimes..imagining your own canvas bag with a huge ammonite or suchlike on plus your lovely shop's name!🌊🌊🌊

      That’s a good point , yes 🙌! I had to give my sturdy shopping 🛍 bag to a customer the other day . They bought a good sized fossil from me . They wanted to carry the bag over their shoulder with the fossil in it . They needed to head up the hill 😮. I will need another “bag for life , “ for the shops again .

    Nice video. Sieving for the fossils is so rewarding. That sieve full there is really lucky considering the tourists that have hunted the area.

      Thanks very much, I had a real bit of luck there . However , I saw lady today who visited the beach at low tide and she was from Canberra , Australia. She really found an excellent sea urchin specimen along the Jurassic Coast.

      The Charmouth Heritage Centre is a great place to see all the fossils that have been found - at low tide . It’s a great educational place to go about the fossils of the Jurassic Coast . It’s very hands on over there and you get the fossils that are found in the area into your minds eye . There is a chap called Phil there , he is very knowledgeable. He has found some great fossil specimens himself.
