- Join Fossiliferous on a fossil hunting adventure to the Dorset Jurassic coast. Over the next few videos I'll be trecking across the mesozoic from Pinhay bay on the west to Burton Bradstock in the east and theres some amazing finds along the way.
Decent haul to cap off a series I've really enjoyed. Gotta love an Amaltheus keel - I have a maybe six inch section of outer whorl that I've kept just because of the perfect preservation of that keel, as well as a couple of smaller complete specimens.
Thanks. - i do like the amaltheids. The preservation at Eype is definitely better than the Yorkshire coast but there are still nice ones to be had there too. I'll certainly be back to Eype before too long
Nice video but I must admit after all the cliff falls we have had down here recently I can just imagine the fossil hunters in the future finding a complete Matteus Fociliferous sogyywellious.
Yes we were a little early but not actually that close to the big cliffs. That being said if the cliff goes in a big way as it has done there quite recently in the past it wouldn't matter how close you were
Really enjoyed the trip Matt ,nice finds ❤
Thanks. More trips planned - hopefully france will be productive
@ Yes ,sounds great only this time you need to beat the Belgians 😊
@davidthomas6859 we're going further South so a bit far for our Belgian comrades!
WHERE ARE YOUR SAFETY GLASSES??? Eyes are precious. Crazy.
Thanks for reminding me
At 12:56 on the left in that big block, did someone bring a cutter? 😂
No we didn't but I think this block was quite worn already and I think we were more concerned about not getting too wet!
@fossiliferous I didn't mean you brought it 😁 Epic adventures!
Every block we saw had been cut like this. I can't say I disagree with it as the only other alternative is for them to be quickly destroyed by the sea. I think they are not so easy to chisel out without also risk of breaking
That is a crisp looking ....amaltheus...? One for the collection I suspect?
Yes likely. Its not a big one from there but it's certainly my first complete one
It's a real shame you're looking for a only one single type of rock. Why not open your mind and be inclusive of other little bits of rock and concrete?
In all seriousness it's a pity the junction bed (or beacon limestone as it's now called for some reason) is so pants on the coast... at the classic inland area it can be really quite good. It can yield nice things and lots of things for cutting and polishing which can also be beautiful.
Also shocking to see the vandals cutting the starfish out of the blocks. Using power tools to get fossils out of the ground? It's disgraceful. I would never dream of doing such a thing.
As you know the junction bed is a distraction to finding the good stuff. Its just not the same quality as inland
😆🤣😂. There was surprisingly few blocks and none untouched. I'm sure they don't last long once exposed to the sea.
