Try Fossilling In Charmouth
Wow, an authentic piece of dinosaur in your hand. It's really a possibility...
Fossil hunting is not only for scientific types - it’s an enjoyable outdoor activity that can be done by everyone. Dorset, in the south of England, offers world-class fossil beds. Everyone can have a go at looking for dinosaur teeth or bone fragments there. Why not get yourself to Dorset and try this satisfying and free activity, you never know what will turn up!
Dorset is home to The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site - ninety five miles of marvelous coast designated by UNESCO as having ‘outstanding universal value’. The rocks are truly special because they record 85 million years of Earth’s historical past, spanning the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous time periods. They are particularly fossil rich.
The Jurassic coastline is England’s only natural World Heritage Site and it is a jewel. It runs from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland in Dorset, home of the famed Old Harry Rocks.
You can easily while away hours on the Dorset shoreline in search of fossils. A great site for fossil hunting is actually Charmouth. The seashore has easy accessibility, parking, a café and public toilets. Charmouth is a nice village of less than 2000 residents, featuring a sizeable shingle beach. It has an interesting Heritage Coast Centre on the seafront with lots of information about the natural history of the area. It is well-known for fossils and draws in serious collectors and beginners alike.
There are plenty of fossils can be found throughout every season although the ideal time to look is actually during the spring or the winter months because there are much less people on the seashore then, and the storms and extreme high tides help to reveal new fossils. Explore in the shingle and on the tide line, especially as the tide starts going in. Focus on a small area and keep your eyes peeled.
Charmouth is especially good in the winter months. Waves lash the shoreline and come up over the sea wall, hurling big stones up at the same time. Surfers can be spotted too making the most of the waves.
The most common fossil at Charmouth is the ammonite. They lived in the sea between 240 - 65 million years ago and belong to a class of predators referred to as cephalopods. Surviving relatives include the octopus, cuttlefish, squid and nautilus. It’s great to discover these beautiful spiral shells and to be the first person to hold them so many years after their death. Also in plentiful supply are belemnites. They first appeared around 208 million years ago and are relatives of the ammonites.
At one end of Charmouth beach is Black Ven and at the other is Stonebarrow. Black Ven is the biggest coastal mudslide area in Europe. Ammonite impressions can be uncovered in the mud but most are so fragile that they break up if not treated with care. To reach Stonebarrow you have to cross a small bridge over the river. Stonebarrow is good for ‘fools gold’ ammonites and crinoids - ‘sea lilies’ that are relatives of starfish.
If you are lucky, it's possible you'll discover a really incredible find. Any significant finds must be registered with the World Heritage Team (01305 225101). After heavy rainfall in the year 2000 local collector Tony Gill found the fossilised remains of a 5m long icthyasaur, now known as ‘Mary’.
It’s easy to get hooked on looking for fossils and it’s remarkably calming too. Absolutely anyone can get involved, and kids seem especially good at it. You don’t have to have any special gear to look for fossils but if you are planning a few hours of fossilling it helps to have strong footwear and also a strong bag to place your finds in. If you use a hammer you should have protective eyewear or glasses as rock fragments very easily fly up in the air. Hammers should only be used to break up loose stone and not to hack at the cliff face You are probably better off simply hunting along the shoreline anyway.
Be aware that rocks can fall at any time. Check the tides and only set out along the coast during a falling tide. Mudslides also occur, especially after stormy weather so be on the lookout and don’t take silly risks.
If you want an experienced person on hand, guided walks on the coastline can be booked from the Heritage Centre.
For fantastic views of this special coastline, the nearby Golden Cap headland between Charmouth and Seatown is the highest view on the south coast. At 191m above sea level it's really a great vantage point from which to enjoy the fantastic Jurassic Coast of Dorset.
If this has got you interested in trying fossilling, why not take a look at some holiday cottages (try searching online for holiday cottages Dorset) and book a few days in Dorset.examples of opal,dino bone and petrified shell cabochons.wmv
