See us at http://www.lymeregisfossilwalks.com Book a private fossil walk with us (when we are available) and we can show you the Jurassic Coast. The beach East of Lyme Regis is good for fossil hunting - at low tide. Check the tide times before you head off on a fossil walk. Always read and obey the caution signs that are on the way down to the fossil collecting areas on the beach. The cliffs are very dangerous so keep away from them! They are liable to fall suddenly and without warning. This video shows how to find a fossil along the Jurassic Coast using the best "tools" - your eyes! Many people come to Lyme Regis and say they would like to find a fossil to take home, if not for them then for a friend. You need some sturdy gloves and wellington boots with good grips for a fossil hunting walk along the Jurassic Coast. The ammonites preserved in "fools gold" are best left soaking in a bucket of fresh water when you get home. This gets the salt out of them. The fresh water should be changed over the three or four days you have them soaking. Then leave the fossils to dry in the air for three to four weeks so they are ready to varnish. I mix clear picture varnish with matt varnish 50/50 to varnish them all over with. Some species of ammonite last better than others. They look good varnished and really come up well. A little bit of "Jurassic Magic" from the World Heritage Coastline! Read and obey the fossil collecting code of conduct before setting off fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast, this is available online.Always wear safety spectacles and sturdy gloves if you are doing any hammering of the grey layered limestone rocks.
