Description
When engaging in fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast, it’s important to adhere to a set of etiquette and rules to ensure the preservation of this unique and environmentally sensitive area. Here are some guidelines to follow: Look for common fossils: Start by searching for common fossils such as ammonites, belemnites, or brachiopods. These fossils are often more abundant and easier to find, providing a good foundation for your collection. As you gain more experience, you can delve into the search for rarer or more specialized fossils. Many of us couldn’t dream of finding something so remarkable. How can you find these amazing fossils?
Some fossils are too small and fragile to be wrapped around in foam and transported home. As an alternative, compartment boxes with cotton are normally used for these fragile specimens. These reduce the risk of damage by cushioning the pieces in case of turbulence on a bad road.
Conclusion
Observe safety signs and warnings: Pay attention to any signage or warnings along the coast. These signs are in place to protect visitors and preserve the natural beauty and geological formations of the area. Many first-time fossil hunters neglect safety, equipment, and geography. Avoiding these mistakes will help you start a fossil collection. Let’s get started! Once you reach the Jurassic Coast, consider staying in one of the charming coastal towns, such as Lyme Regis, Charmouth, or Sidmouth. These towns offer a range of accommodations, including hotels, guesthouses, and self-catering cottages, providing a comfortable and convenient base for your fossil hunting adventures.
Keep in mind that fossil identification can sometimes be challenging, and it may take time and experience to develop a keen eye for detail. Enjoy the process of discovering and learning about the fossils you find, and remember that every discovery contributes to our understanding of the ancient world.
