    Love the ammonite earrings Em! It's always worth looking closely in the gravels between the stones/rocks - I have found lots of lovely little pyretized ammonites and sections of crinoid stems that have been washed from the clays along the beach between Lyme Regis and Charmouth.

    Thanks Em, very useful advice. Looking forward to hearing your tips for getting at the ammonite when it's hidden away inside rock. Keep the Friday videos coming! 😎👍

    One thing that I always bring along on fossil hunting trips is a roll of toilet paper in a plastic bag in case nature calls. It is also a good idea to bring a hand shovel to dig a "cat hole" to do one's business in. I'm not sure what the laws are regarding answering nature's call in public are on the Jurassic Coast, but there is often the need for collectors to find the nearest bush....

    Good advice Em. One thing I would add is this: if you use a geologic hammer, please wear protective eyewear in the form of safety glasses or your own prescription glasses. Cracking open hard concretions or any dense strata can send rock shards in all directions like shrapnel. As a geologist myself I have witnessed many near disasters of over enthusiastic, careless rock hammering. Remember...no fossil is worth losing your sight over.

    Another thing that I will bring along is several large rags or an unwashed shirt. This is for wrapping fragile specimens so they won't get scratched during transport.

    Looks like so much fun. Look up the Moeraki boulders, it's in NZ near where I live. They have always looked to me like giant turtle eggs. Probably not lol What do you think?

    There's naff all here in Sussex, I've found some quite young fossil shells at Bracklesham bay, but the shingle beaches near me are, as far as my untutored eye can tell, devoid of anything but lumps of flint. If I won the lotto, I think I'd retire to the Jurassic coast, just so that I can spend my life on the beach fossil hunting!!

    Thank you, I've been trying to find a video for ages on what to look for. I took my kids to Charmouth and must had smashed a 100 rocks a d found nothing. We did find a few at the bottom of a land slide breaking apart the slabs of hard clay. They're very brittle however.

      Glad it was helpful! 😊 It takes time to understand the rocks and work out which ones look 'promising' 🤞 a lot of time, patience and luck is needed 😉

    Hi, I am new to fossil hunting, I am from Wales but working in Mogadishu Somalia, I spend my spare time on the jagged coast of Mog. What can I hope to find? I would be really excited to find a sharks tooth, where do I look? TIA Andy 😊

    What beach are you at? It seems to be very rich in fossils,. When I visited the jurassic coast I found Lyme Regis and Charmouth to be quite disappointing as there were loads of tourists and the beach had been picked clean. I had better luck at Burton bradstock

    Not me realizing how many fossils I've missed as a child because I thought they were ugly, so I left it 💀😭
    Edit: I'm going to the beach tomorrow where there are plenty of rocks and pebbles on the coast. I'm gonna remember these tips for tomorrow

    Over time I've found lots of white looking fossils in what is possibly clay, is this a fossil? Or a mold where minerals have filled in?
    How can I preserve them?
