10 Fossil Hunting Mistakes

If you have visions of just walking out along the Jurassic Coast fossil hunting and finding a calcite ammonite just like the one in the video - your sadly mistaken . Finding a calcite ammonite like the one in the video called Asteroceras obtusum , the king of calcite ammonites, is not easy at all ! See the video "10 fossil hunting mistakes" to learn more about the fossil collecting along the Jurassic Coast. As long as you don`t dig in the cliffs in situ, your allowed to collect the fossils that wash out along the shoreline. There is fossil collecting code of conduct online you can see called the " West Dorset Fossil Hunting Code Of Conduct."I hope you find some fossils along the Jurassic Coast-at low tide.Have a look at some of the fossils you can find along the Jurassic Coast in this video.The best tools are your eyes when finding fossils. I recommend wearing safety glasses and sturdy rubber gloves when hammering the right rocks. Remember the cliffs are dangerous and liable to fall suddenly and without warning. Keep away from the dangerous cliffs. The best fossils are washed out onto the beaches at low tide, by the sea's actions. Look out for the slippery seaweed on the ledges and rocks. I offer fossil walks along the Jurassic Coast on the following website, so feel free to take a look at the website I made, with our online fossil walks ——————http://www.lymeregisfossilwalks.com #fossilhunting#ammonite#fossil.
