FOSSIL ADVENTURES Lyme Regis is famous for its geology, fossils and its unparalleled role in the birth of the earth sciences. The blue lias cliffs are a treasure trove of the remains of marine creatures from the Jurassic seas of 180 million years ago. One of Lyme’s most famous citizens, Mary Anning, played a pioneering role in the founding of the new science of palaeontology following her discoveries of the first complete Ichthyosaur, Plesiosaurus and Pterodactylus during the early-1800s. Now a gateway to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, fossilised remains of sea creatures can be found on Lyme’s beaches, particularly to the east of the town and at the ammonite graveyard on Monmouth Beach to the west. Fossil hunters should equip themselves with boots, hammer, goggles and the tide tables, as it is easy to get cut off by the incoming tide. Organised fossil walks are a more interesting and safer way to explore the coast and learn more about the fascinating creatures which lie beneath. Lyme Regis Museum, which was built on the site of Mary Anning’s former home, houses a fascinating collection recording the Jurassic history of Lyme Regis.
