Lyme Regis Fossils- Following In Mary Anning’s Footsteps

I am going fossil hunting along the Jurassic Coast today. I am fossil collecting East of Lyme Regis- at low tide. I recommend wearing safety glasses and sturdy rubber gloves when hammering the right rocks. Remember the cliffs are dangerous and liable to fall suddenly and without warning. Keep away from the dangerous cliffs the best fossils are washed out onto the beaches at low tide by the sea's actions. Look out for the slippery seaweed on the ledges and rocks. I offer fossil walks along the Jurassic Coast on the following website, so feel free to take a look at the website I made, with our online fossil walks ---------www.lymeregisfossilwalks.com There is a fossil collecting code of conduct in place along the Jurassic Coast.

Nice to get a bit of geology in, also interesting info on Mary Anning, well done!

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks very much indeed MIke . It was absolutely like a proper spring day out on the beach today ! I hope you enjoyed the sun at West Bat today

[@raygrange7312]

Excellent Brandon. Thoroughly enjoyable.👍

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks very much for that. I was happy I managed to clip that calcite ammonite out of the rock 🪨 and it was pretty perfect 🍀🌀

[@ForgottenFossils]

ironic that they went directly under the cliff to prop that sign up 😃😄

[@LymeRegisFossils]

That is a very good point Liam, who ever propped it up there must have been too near the cliff. I did see people keeping away from the particular area though. They must have been frightened off by the sign 🪧. The sign will get washed away sadly by the next big spring tide and a good SW WIND 💨

Wonders, wonders! These tiny ammonites are absolutely beautiful. Congratulations, great video. Greetings from Poland 👋

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks very much, we had a nice sunny ☀️ Spring day here today. I wish you all the best for Springtime 🌱

Just subscribed. This is just fascinating. As a woman I wish she got more credit but I am so proud her work is being recognised today. Waiting on more content from you 🙂

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks 🙏 very much for your comments

[@LymeRegisFossils]

David Attenborough said that Mary Anning taught the finest minds in the country about the science of geology and the fossils of this area . She is well recognised today, Mary Anning is such a good topic for kids to learn about at school

A wonderful video, thank you for the explanation of the Blue Lias, a great video of fossil collecting after a storm.

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks very much Mike for your comments and encouragement

[@davidthomas6859]

Another excellent video Brandon,love the calcite Ammonites.

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks 🙏 very much , I did really enjoy finding that perfect Promicroceras sp. It worked out really well that one

[@WatchFlares]

Excellent stuff Brandon. Love the curiosities, and of course the excitement of pyritic promicroceras never goes away.

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks very much Phil after all the stormy 🌊 weather ⛈ , today made it feel like the first spring day with the lovely sun out . Thanks very much for watching as always

[@WightFossilTours]

Nice to see you haven’t lost your marbles 😜🤣🤣🤣 Nice finds 💪

[@TheFossilFiend]

great video as always, congrats on the good hunt!

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks 🙏 a lot , it was fun out there on the low tide

[@Comfortinscents]

Brilliant video Brandon! Enjoyed the sights and information too🌊🌊🌊

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks very much for watching, it was like Spring on the beach today - finally! What’s the weather like with you ? - great I hope. I will look back at these KZbin videos and think 🤔 gosh it was stormy ⛈ times back in WINTER 🌊

[@Comfortinscents]

@@LymeRegisFossils Absolutely beautiful here too and so bright 😍🌞

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Excellent it’s a total change in the weather today . Finally looks good weather again. I think 🤔 this weekend is the clock change as well

[@Comfortinscents]

27th March I think 🌞

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Ah ok thanks for that 🙌

[@karstengenzel7839]

wonderful video, again. am excited what else was in that nodule :-)

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks 🙏 karsten , I think 🤔 a Xiph is there but I can only see one big spine sticking out

[@karstengenzel7839]

@@LymeRegisFossils sounds promissing

[@LymeRegisFossils]

The intermediate stones are always a bit of a gamble Karsten. So many don’t work out well as you know. Funny looking stone the intermediate one, now I have washed it up .

[@playerone82]

Very interesting 👍

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thank You 🙏

[@keithhollyfield9278]

used to find beautiful green Ammonites at a disused clay pit at Small Dole sussex

[@LymeRegisFossils]

That sounds like the nacre they have on the outside of them sometimes when preserved really well

[@MsPixi66]

I recently went there myself and found a vertebrae of an ichthyosaur also I found a broken larvikite rock which is really sparkly under light's I love it down there.

[@LymeRegisFossils]

That’s a successful trip then fossil hunting - well done . The mineral is usually from the more recent sea defence work, other times it was used as ships ballast in the old sail ships . Larvakite can polish up really well I have tried doing that with some of the pieces

[@MsPixi66]

@@LymeRegisFossils ah right thank you for that 😊

[@Iwannahearmore]

I’m fascinated by your videos! Looks like a wonderful place to visit! You keep mentioning the iron “pyritees”. Would you please tell us what you’re looking at and describing when you say that term?

[@LymeRegisFossils]

Thanks 🙏 very much I look for iron pyrite ammonites, the fossils you commonly find called Promicroceras sp. are preserved in “ fools gold.” This mineral you find in many of the fossils on the beach at low tide - along the Jurassic Coast.

[@silkebohde-rath1130]

The small Ammonites are suitable for jewelry!!!🤩 Pendant ore earrings 🥰Can I bey It from you???
