Lyme Regis Fossil Hunting - * Crinoid Special * - Episode Five
Searching after storms to find Fossil Crinoid at Black Ven, Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast
Take care when fossil hunting in rough conditions, remember to check the tide times and tell someone where you are going. Stay away from the cliffs and sea.

Fossil Hunting at Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast - Autumn 2021 - Episode 4
มุมมอง 1.6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Fossil Hunting at Lyme Regis this Autumn has been rather difficult due to the amount of sand covering the Blue Lias mud on the beach. A few weeks ago the slips moved forwards due to the heavy rain we had, and now most of this is buried as well, making life really difficult. I hope things improve in the Winter months. Hope you enjoy the video Connie Wyatt
Environmental issue - Old town tip site brings down cliff - Pre November 2021 Landslip
มุมมอง 6042 ปีที่แล้ว
Modern and historic rubbish can be found scattered across the cliff and beach at Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast, a site of scientific interest. Car axels, engines, gear boxes and water tanks are frequently found on the beach together with other heavy metal and objects. The town tip site was originally dumped at the top of the cliff, the size and weight of the site detrimentally contributed to...
Lyme Regis Landslip 11/11/2021
มุมมอง 1.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Huge Landslip at Black Ven, Lyme Regis on the Jurassic Coast. Occurred 11 November 2021. Likely cause is the tip waste, forcing the cliff down, dumped from Edwardian period up to the 1980s ... [Previous day, when it *started* to fall in the afternoon]
Fossil Hunting During The Summer Holidays - Lyme Regis, Jurassic Coast
มุมมอง 2.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
During the Summer months, I rarely go fossil hunting as I like to leave it to the visitors. I use this time to prep the fossils that I find in the winter months. I did pop down a few times to see if I could find fossils to show the visitors. Hope you enjoy this video! Connie Wyatt

Can I ask where you bought your hammer? I’m desperate to find one like that but can’t seem to find one!?
Hi - sorry for the delay in responding. Try eBay. Most of my hammers are picked up from car boots and usually need a lot of tlc to bring them back to good use. Try searching for mining hammer. Good luck
Amazing videos so informative
Thank you very much, I appreciate the feedback
Great video 😊
Thank you so much ! 😄
Yes I saw this not long ago it's a huge shame it's being littered with tyres plastic bits of car etc etc
So much harmful materials scattered right across the beach
@@LymeRegisFossilDepot Exactly I think I even saw some asbestos which is atrocious
Great video! Great attitude. Love it 😊
Thank you!! 👍
Great finds I was thinking of taking a trip to Lyme Regis after some Ichthyosaurus verts and bones is this something that is found often.
After a decent storm - anything is possible!
Inspiring! Want to come there from Latvia already... maybe will meet in Feb 2023 ;)
Thank you 👍
An old spoon will do.
Wow great video and finds 💪🤩 I would love to find one of those plates
Thank you 🙏 Crinoid is the best to find, so beautiful against the dark mud!
Hi... Silly question but what are the nodules you mention? Where in the cliffs do they come from?
Hi, the nodules are often the correct stones that contain fossils, mainly Ammonites. Different nodules can contain different species of Ammonites and the nodules come from the different layers in the cliffs. Hope this helps! 😊
The preservation of the crinoids with the contrast of the surrounding matrix is beautiful. I would love to collect a couple specimens from there to add to my collection. Thank you for sharing and happy collecting!
Thank you! It is amazing how something so clean and delicate can come from such a harsh and muddy place!
Wow
Love the shots of the storm's waves hitting the cliffs etc. Shows the power of the sea! Beautiful! 💚💚💚
Thank you! The Sea has such an overwhelming power and I really wanted to show this in this video. The slips will soon disappear and new ones will appear. Thanks for watching 🙏
Gorgeous specimens!
The detail in those crinoids is stunning, thanks for the info on spotting them :) Merry Christmas🎄
The details on Crinoid can be immense! Thank you, Happy Christmas 🎅
Very nice.
Thank you 👍
lovely specimins
Thank you! 🙂
A lovely video. It is clear that you put a lot of effort and thought into it. Thank you for saving those works of art and for showcasing them. Happy Christmas.
Thank you very much Happy Christmas 😊
stunning finds!!!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Those cricoids are gorgeous,people do tend to overlook them in favour of Ammonites. Don’t know why👍
Yes absolutely right, I don't think people are aware of them, they are definitely overlooked! 😊
Love your video
Great work that - really inspiring :-)
Just come back from staying in Burton Bradstock loved walking the beaches and seeing what you can find ,keep up the good work
Thank you! Burton Bradstock is a lovely place!
Qualité indisponible ? Dommage
Really informative video and interesting to watch 👍
Thank you 👍🙂
productive hunt... nice range of ammonites :-)
Thank you!
Very nice.
Thank you 👍
I just discovered your channel and I'm absolutely very much enjoying it! Although everytime I hear you say "Crinoid" or just see you find a whole plate in this video and the other video's, I am the most jealous person in the world. I've only found a tiny plate (and a few stems of course) ever. You are excellent at fossiling! Keep up the good work! 👏
Thank you, you are very kind! I do really love to find Crinoid, how it can come out so clean on such a dirty and muddy beach is such a delight! Another video should be out really soon! Thank you for your support 😊
It’s a reminder to us all to stay away from those cliffs. Let’s hope it’s still washing out in December when we are there! Good luck hunting. Stay safe.
Sad that more is not being done to protect our beautiful beaches and wildlife.
That looks as tho it will give you hours of interesting hunting. Or is that not the case?
The sea will wash it out gradually but there will be people recklessly climbing up which will make it difficult for people on the beach. But should be good if people treat it with respect.
@@LymeRegisFossilDepot Good luck with it. Great vid!
The world is our dumping ground.🤷♂️
The world is our dumping ground.🤷♂️
Now to let the sea do its work and wash out the fossils .🙂
The beaches will be busy tomorrow 😀
WOW that was a big fall
Question..any tips on finding fossil in tropical area?? Can you tell what type, condition or time to excavation on designated area???
Hey from Türkiye 🇹🇷
Hi from Türkiye
Thank you so much for sharing.
Do you have to do anything to the fossils once you find them to preserve them?
Sometimes it can be good practice too as it does indeed help to preserve the fossils!
I am loving your videos! Thank you for posting them! I've never been fossil hunting before but I am going to Lyme Regis for a day trip in 2 weeks time. Where would you suggest a complete newbie go, please? Thank you!!
I would suggest going to either Monmouth beach located behind the Cobb harbour area or Black Ven towards Charmouth. Both are pretty good for finding fossils big and small!
@@LymeRegisFossilDepot Thank you!! I'm looking forward to it!! :D
Excellent finds and video! Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you! Love your channel! :)
Watching all your videos! Love them!!!
Glad you like them! Thank you so much!
Another great video, Connie. Thanks so much. And how nice to see Chris Andrew again. I did a couple of fossil walks with him and Paddy Howe several years ago and spent a bit of time in Paddy's dungeon (fossil shop) with Chris giving me some tips on how to prep an ammonite with an air scribe. Their influence still spurs me on during my twice-a-year visits down that way.
Thanks, Connie. That was brilliant! Enlightening, yet at the same time ... annoying! The hours I've spent scouring the beach east of Lyme Regis and that east of Charmouth and, at best, come away with some tiny iron pyrite ammonites and fragments. My last trip to Charmouth (weekend before last) produced no finds of note. Your video is inspiring because it's a reminder to me that there's plenty to find if I'm patient, observant and learn what to look for. My dream is to find a big iron pyrite ammonite like the one you found at 07:31, and a few bone fragments wouldn't go amiss either! I must try harder next time. Thank you!! :-)
Thank you for your lovely message, indeed the fossils are there waiting to be found, sometimes just a mm under the Lias mud, or just about to be carried onto the beach by the next big wave. Perseverance is key. Good luck on your next fossil hunt!
Great crinoids. :)
The last one is the greatest find. :)
Another great video! The boys loved seeing all your finds. We can’t wait to get back down on the beach!
Thank you!! :)
That second cuttlefish was beautful
Thank you!! :)
Lovely especially the the little stack
Thank you, that one was definitely a stunner! ☺️
