Fossil RainbowTry Fossilling In Charmouth, Dorset
Fantastic, an actual piece of dinosaur in your hands. It is a possibility...
Fossil hunting is not only for scientific types - it’s a great leisure activity that can easily be done by the whole family. Dorset, in the south of England, provides world class fossil beds. Anybody can try hunting for dinosaur teeth or bone fragments there. Why don't you get yourself to Dorset and try this exciting and cost-free activity, who knows what's going to turn up!
Dorset is home to The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site - 95 miles of marvelous coastline designated by UNESCO as having ‘outstanding universal value’. The rocks are certainly special because they record 85 million years of Earth’s historical past, spanning the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous time periods. They are fossil rich.
The Jurassic coastline 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 renowned Old Harry Rocks.
You can easily while away hours on the Dorset coast in search of fossils. A great location for fossil hunting is definitely Charmouth. The seashore has easy accessibility, car parking, a café and public lavatories. Charmouth is a small village of below 2000 inhabitants, boasting a good sized shingle beach. It has an interesting Heritage Coast Centre on the seafront with plenty of information on the natural history of the area. It is world famous for fossils and appeals to serious collectors and beginners alike.
There are many fossils can be found throughout every season but the ideal time to look is actually throughout the springtime or the winter since there are significantly less people on the seashore then, and the stormy weather and extreme high tides help to expose new fossils. Look in the shingle and on the tide line, especially as the tide starts going in. Target a small area and keep your eyes peeled.
Charmouth is especially good in the winter months. Waves lash the coastline and come up over the sea wall, hurling big 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 amazing to discover these beautiful spiral shells and to be the very first human being to hold them so many years after their death. Additionally 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 found in the mud but most are so delicate that they break up if not treated with great care. To reach Stonebarrow you must cross a little bridge over the river. Stonebarrow is good for ‘fools gold’ ammonites and crinoids - ‘sea lilies’ that are relatives of starfish.
If you're fortunate, you might come across a really remarkable find. Any important finds must be registered with the World Heritage Team (01305 225101). After heavy rain in 2000 local collector Tony Gill found the fossilised remains of a 5m long icthyasaur, now known as ‘Mary’.
It’s easy to get addicted on hunting fossils and it’s remarkably calming too. Absolutely anyone can get involved, and children seem especially good at it. You don’t need to have any special gear to start looking for fossils but if you are planning a few hours of fossilling it helps to have strong shoes as well as a strong bag to place your finds in. If you are using a hammer you will need protective eyewear or glasses as stone fragments very easily fly up in the air. Hammers should only be used to split loose rock and not to hack at the cliff face You are probably better off just hunting along the shoreline anyway.
Bear in mind that rocks can fall at any time. Check the tides and only set out along the coast on a falling tide. Mudslides also occur, especially after wet weather conditions and so be on the lookout and don’t take foolish risks.
If you want an expert on hand, guided walks along the shoreline can easily be booked from the Heritage Centre.
For fantastic views of this distinctive coastline, the nearby Golden Cap headland in 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 beautiful 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.RAINBOWS, FOSSILS AND BEARS! OH MY!!
