Fossil MineralFossil Fun On Dorset's Jurassic Coast
Incredible, an actual piece of dinosaur in your hand. It's actually a possibility...
Fossil hunting is not only for scientific types - it’s a pleasant pursuit that can easily be done by everyone. Dorset, in the south of England, gives you first class fossil beds. Any person can try searching for dinosaur teeth or bone fragments there. Why don't you get yourself to Dorset and try this exciting and free activity, you will never know what is going to turn up!
Dorset is home to The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site - 95 miles of lovely coast designated by UNESCO as having ‘outstanding universal value’. The rocks are seriously special because they record 85 million years of Earth’s history, spanning the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They are particularly fossil rich.
The Jurassic coast is England’s only natural World Heritage Site and it is a treasure. It goes from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland in Dorset, home of the well known Old Harry Rocks.
You can easily while away hours on the Dorset shoreline in search of fossils. A great place for fossil hunting is Charmouth. The shore has easy access, car parking, a café and public toilets. Charmouth itself is a nice village of less than 2000 residents, boasting a sizeable shingle beach. It has an interesting Heritage Coast Centre on the seafront with plenty of information about the natural history of the area. It is world famous for fossils and draws in serious collectors and amateurs alike.
There are numerous fossils can be found throughout every season although the perfect time to look is actually throughout the springtime or the winter because there are significantly less people on the shore then, and the storms and extreme high tides help to reveal new fossils. Search 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 particularly good in the winter months. Waves lash the coast and come up over the sea wall, throwing sizeable stones up at the same time. Surfers can be spotted too enjoying the waves.
The most prevalent fossil at Charmouth is the ammonite. They lived in the sea between 240 - 65 million years ago and belong to a group of predators called cephalopods. Living relatives include the octopus, cuttlefish, squid and nautilus. It’s great to discover these beautiful spiral shells and to be the very 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 largest coastal mudslide area in Europe. Ammonite impressions can be found 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're lucky, it's possible you'll stumbled upon a really extraordinary find. Any significant finds must be registered with the World Heritage Team (01305 225101). After heavy rain in the year 2000 local collector Tony Gill found the fossilised remains of a 5m long icthyasaur, now named ‘Mary’.
It’s easy to get hooked on hunting fossils and it’s remarkably calming too. Absolutely anyone can get involved, and kids seem particularly good at it. You don’t need to have any special gear to look for fossils but if you are planning several hours of fossilling it helps to have strong footwear and also a strong bag to put your finds in. If you are using a hammer you'll need protective eyewear or glasses as rock fragments easily fly up in the air. Hammers should only be used to split loose stone and not to hack at the cliff face You are probably better off just simply hunting along the shoreline anyway.
Remember that rocks can fall at any time. Check the tides and only set out down the coast on a falling tide. Mudslides also occur, especially after rainy weather therefore keep an eye out and don’t take foolish risks.
If you want an expert on hand, guided walks along the coastline can easily be booked from the Heritage Centre.
For wonderful views of the 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 is a great vantage point from which to appreciate the magnificent 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.2008 Geofair ,Cincinnati Mineral , Fossil Show pt.2 of
