Hunting for Fossils on England's Jurassic Coast in Charmouth, UK
On a stormy day, it’s easy to imagine that dinosaurs once roamed this stunning coastline—now a UNESCO World Heritage Site—in the shadow of 85-million-year-old cliffs. Start your fossil hunt from Charmouth with help from the enthusiastic dinosaur hunters that man the Charmouth Heritage Coast Center, and scramble amongst the rocks and pebbles of the surrounding beaches looking for the remains of a prehistoric world. Fossils of ammonites and belemnites are the most common, but finding the remains of prehistoric sharks, fossilized footprints, and dinosaur bones is always possible. You can improve your chances by taking a guided fossil walk, and don’t forget to check out the fossil collector’s code (yes, there is one!) at the Heritage Center before you start.
