I finally got the chance to walk along the world famous ‘Ammonite Pavement’ at Lyme Regis, Dorset.

This almost 200 million-year-old Early Jurassic rock exposure contains countless fossils, primarily ammonites, preserved in a mass death assemblage. Some of the ammonites are very large, being almost a metre in diameter.

The ancient seabed is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and National Nature Reserve.

Hope you enjoy this little snapshot of Jurassic life.

*Please remember to stay AWAY from the base of the cliff. During the filming of this little video I had to tell five different groups (including some with small children) to stop hammering at the cliffs! It is dangerous and potentially life-threatening.

With special thanks to my friend and colleague, Mark Graham, for allowing the use of footage he filmed in January 2017.
