A perfect day to go fossil collecting along the Jurassic Coast. We are looking for iron pyrites ammonites washed out of the mudslides. How do i find fossils along the Jurassic Coast at low tide?- well i look for patches of iron pyrites.These heavy concentrations of "fools gold" on the beach often hold good little iron pyrites ammonites in them.The little ammonites are preserved in the iron pyrites which makes them" heavy " too .There is a fossil collecting code of conduct along the Jurassic Coast. You can see that online, look for ~”The West Dorset Fossil Collecting Code Of Conduct.” In this video I show you some ammonites I split out of some thin grey layered limestone rocks that break like slate. I wear protective eye wear /safety spectacles 👓 and sturdy gloves 🧤 when breaking the small right rocks on the beach. Remember to be aware of the tides and go out fossil hunting on the low tide. Stay away from the dangerous cliffs they are liable to fall suddenly and without warning. We run guided fossil collecting trips at Lyme Regis [ Ссылка ]
