I learned more in this video then all the other fossil videos I’ve watched for years now. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and explaining so perfectly the differences between fossils. Well done❤️
In my kit I add a shoulder bag for finds (and some small bubble wrap bags) and another one for tools - keep your hands free. A pair of those grippy orange gloves for hand protection. Also, a bricklayers hammer works well for splitting, and maybe a cold chisel too.
Great video Paddy. Mariah is currently working on some Ammonites (samples for radio-isotope) analysis for Dr. Neil Landman. Best wishes from Mariah, LIsa, and Denton
A very interesting and well presented video. Not a fossil hunter myself but fascinated by the process. One question, how or why do the ammonites end up inside the stones?
Initially It looks like Paddy is to the west of Lyme, below 'Undercliffs' - the famous landslip of 1839, which if memory serves is the eastern transitiion to the Triassic sequence that runs to Sidmouth and on into Devon, characterised by the red-ochre rock. In one frame, looking east, one could just make out 'Golden Cap' the highest section of cliff on the entire Jurassic coast. To the east of Lyme is predominantly the Jurassic sequence, comprising largely of blue mudstones, leading into the Cretaceous sequence nearer to the Portland end of the Jurassic coast, where chalk and Portland limestone predominates. . Literally at the western end of the Lyme Regis seafront, there is a sequence of 'wave cut' platforms that have some stunning and quite large ammonites embedded therein. We don't touch these because they are the Jurassic Coast Park's 'Deep Time' equivalent to the Hollywood Boulevard celebrity 'Stars' in the sidewalk... But i did find a beautiful example of a quartz geode in this sequence closer to the cliffline. . Lyme Regis and the entire Jurassic coast is one of my favourite places on this beleaguered Earth and I've collected quite a few Ammonites and vertebrae from the Jurrasic portion of this amazing and beautiful world heritage site.

This is a brilliant video from Paddy. Nothing beats going out with him in person but this comes as a close second!

Hello my friend like 33
We know how a hat works... And seriously, anyone who doesn't think to take a bag shouldn't be out alone.
Apart from that, it's a really useful video.
