A " Heart Shaped " Fossil Sea Urchin from the Cretaceous Period. I found the fossil at low tide along the Jurassic Coast. It was water worn from the attrition of the sand and sea. I could just see the edge of the Sea Urchin protruding out of the rock. I don’t usually touch flint rock, unless I can see something like the edge of a fossil protruding out of it. The rock can be seriously sharp and shatters like glass with splinters. The fossil is preserved in flint rock and is called Micraster sp. I find unusual fossils like this in Winter after stormy weather, i spot them at low tide in amongst the rocks. Stay away from the dangerous cliffs that are liable to fall suddenly and without warning. I have longer fossil hunting videos on my YouTube Channel " Lyme Regis Fossils." 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. If you are going to hammer one of the right little splitting rocks on the beach at low tide, then I recommend wearing safety equipment. Wear safety spectacles and sturdy gloves when using a geological hammer. 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 ——————[ Ссылка ] There is a fossil collecting code of conduct in place along the Jurassic Coast. Our channel on YouTube is called "Lyme Regis Fossils."
