My Beautiful Places - Charmouth Beach - Jurassic Coast UK (Ep.09)

My Beautiful Places - Charmouth Beach - Jurassic Coast - United Kingdom.
Part of the 96-mile long Jurassic Coast, Charmouth Beach is one of the best spots on the south coast to come fossil hunting.
The most common Jurassic Coast fossils in this area are Ammonites and Belemnites. They are both extinct types of Mollusc, a diverse group of animals to which current day mussels, clams, snails, slugs, cuttlefish and octopus belong.
Ammonites had spiral shells which fossilised to form the fossils we find today. However, when alive they had fleshy heads and ‘squid like’ tentacles.
Belemnites were closer in appearance to the modern day squid, with the rear part most commonly found as ‘bullet shaped’ fossils - known as the ‘Guard’.
