  • In this video I’m in Charmouth Dorset! On the hunt for Fossils along the Jurassic coast line!!
    I show you some easy ways to find the ammonites, all you need is a keen eye and a lot of patience!
    We go along Charmouth and venture across to Lyme Regis a lovely town full with quirky shops, bakeries & Restaurants.
    Lyme Regis & Charmouth is full of history and worth checking out their museums.

    Wow, that looks like so much fun! I’d walk around with a telescope pointed at the ground if I was there. 😂🤣🐦💙

      It really is great fun. The excitements not knowing what may turn up! The stars there are amazing too so it would be worth packing the 🔭 😊🌱

      I’ve cleaned those unidentified finds up a little. Definitely worth a little research. I’ve been fairly flat out since getting back! It’s on the agenda 🌱😊

There’s more to life the government fun tokens I’m sure 😂 much the same as a kid obsessed with Dinos nature ect you soon realise the best jobs in them fields are rare, seemingly impossible to get into and underpaid. I guess it’s like being a footballer to some chasing the dream! 🌱

    1:30 it looks like you missed another (that has been caught by the camera), its about a hand's width diagnonnaly up and right of the one you picked up. You can just see the ridges emerging through the sand !

    Some nice finds there! I only have a couple of non fossil suggestions to make. Number one: Don't waste your money on Costa coffee. Go to the Galley Cafe!! Second thing: Bacon sandwich with no butter or brown sauce looked dry and disappointing but I do like your folding stove thing. 🤙

      Cheers this was a good trip! And honestly I don’t like spending money :D I’d rather invest it. But costa is a decent size cup for a coffee fiend and empty a useful collectors tool :D nothing against supporting local folks tho 👍 and the bacon roll… honestly It tasted damn good after the journey and a early hours fossil hunt. Wacked together on the coast early winters morning with them views il take it real living :D

    Ammonites lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous time periods. In the Triassic, it was Ceratites that were living. And before the Ceratites, Goniatites were the ammonoids living.

    also at 4:44, his thumb literally bumped another one while picking up one ammonite. The other one looks kind of cool, like it was a double decker.

      Very Observant thank you for watching through. Many folk comment on my videos and ask me questions without watching in entirety! I must say I may have pick it up out of shot but maybe I didn’t you might spot it in a upcoming video where I intend to through my Jurassic coast finds! I’m happy a lucky person or youngster might have found it and may treasure it. This was a exceptional trip for pyrite ammonites can’t scoop them all :D

    If you're not sure what you have found ask the bloke in the museum. He is very helpful and knows his fossils. I thought I'd found a load of dino teeth but he had a look and they turned out to be belemnites (a bit like straight ammonites) really quite cool. He'd be able to identify your unknown finds I'm sure.

    • @nillysbonsai9636

      We would have popped in there but our trip was fairly out of season I guess and most days we come back from adventures and the shops be shut! I love the visitor centre and little shop there tho deffo worth a look!

      No way you called belemnites straight ammonites that are completely different as belemnites are the backbone of the squid

      @suiseki2571 Год назад +1

      @@legendgodmyth Yes way, I described them as "a bit like a straight ammonite". If you had read the previous part of my comment where I said that I thought they were "dino teeth" then you would have realized that I am no expert on the subject, quite clueless really but they are very interesting.

    Walked along both sides of the Charmouth beach today 14th May 2024 not found a single fossil? Strange how the you tube videos find loads of Ammonites on the surface

      I can promise you it’s luck of the draw. Iv drove 180 miles before now and found a few scraps! Iv also been with friends and some find fossils some don’t. It can have a lot to do with getting the eye in getting a bad back and lazer focus (effort levels) winter rough weather get out just as tide goes out, your result will be different 💯
