Lyme Regis Museum - Virtual Fossil Walk

[@joannhempen8210]

I learned more in this video then all the other fossil videos I’ve watched for years now. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and explaining so perfectly the differences between fossils. Well done❤️

[@JurassicCoastTrustOfficial]

This is a brilliant video from Paddy. Nothing beats going out with him in person but this comes as a close second!

[@sazzawoo]

I have planned a trip to Lyme, thankyou for this brilliant video 🙏

[@MCFS]

Thank you for this video. Although I knew pretty much everything in it, the presentation was fantastic, and the explanations of how to identify deferent specimens was very clearly presented. I wish I had seen this years ago when I first started my hunting journey! I would love to one day find something even close to that jaw section at the end!

[@Yellowbrainfungus]

This fantastic! Great pace of explanation

[@billmc4673]

[@VooV830]

Excellent video. 💯

[@karlcolt]

I am hoping to come back down to Lyme Regis and meet up with you again. All the best Karl.

[@lisasimpson4574]

Would love to spend the day learning from this chap. I need to get back down to lyme 😀

[@Deebz270]

Me too Lisa.

[@supernaturewee5442]

Very interesting. Thanks for the information! 💚💚💚

In my kit I add a shoulder bag for finds (and some small bubble wrap bags) and another one for tools - keep your hands free. A pair of those grippy orange gloves for hand protection. Also, a bricklayers hammer works well for splitting, and maybe a cold chisel too.

Great video! Cant wait to visit in September 😀 my 1st time tryna find a fossil

[@Deebz270]

Initially It looks like Paddy is to the west of Lyme, below 'Undercliffs' - the famous landslip of 1839, which if memory serves is the eastern transitiion to the Triassic sequence that runs to Sidmouth and on into Devon, characterised by the red-ochre rock. In one frame, looking east, one could just make out 'Golden Cap' the highest section of cliff on the entire Jurassic coast. To the east of Lyme is predominantly the Jurassic sequence, comprising largely of blue mudstones, leading into the Cretaceous sequence nearer to the Portland end of the Jurassic coast, where chalk and Portland limestone predominates. . Literally at the western end of the Lyme Regis seafront, there is a sequence of 'wave cut' platforms that have some stunning and quite large ammonites embedded therein. We don't touch these because they are the Jurassic Coast Park's 'Deep Time' equivalent to the Hollywood Boulevard celebrity 'Stars' in the sidewalk... But i did find a beautiful example of a quartz geode in this sequence closer to the cliffline. . Lyme Regis and the entire Jurassic coast is one of my favourite places on this beleaguered Earth and I've collected quite a few Ammonites and vertebrae from the Jurrasic portion of this amazing and beautiful world heritage site.

Great video Paddy. Mariah is currently working on some Ammonites (samples for radio-isotope) analysis for Dr. Neil Landman. Best wishes from Mariah, LIsa, and Denton

[@peterc2248]

A very interesting and well presented video. Not a fossil hunter myself but fascinated by the process. One question, how or why do the ammonites end up inside the stones?

[@hameedniazi]

Amazing job.

[@karstengenzel7839]

HI Paddy, realy nice Video. Good explanations, like it

[@gregorydoran2777]

Nice one Paddy.

[@raygrange7312]

Great information. Close ups of the fossils would have been good.

[@lisascenic]

This is a place I dream of visiting one day

[@auntybaba10]

Would be great if you had a drawing representations the fossil creature you're referencing in your tutorial.

Hello my friend like 33

[@wintersue222]

We know how a hat works... And seriously, anyone who doesn't think to take a bag shouldn't be out alone.

[@wintersue222]

Apart from that, it's a really useful video.
