10 Fossil Hunting Tips You Should Know!

- I am fossil hunting West of Lyme Regis today.I’m going fossil hunting along the Jurassic Coast at low tide. I’d like to find some of the beautiful little pyrite ammonites that wash out along the beach at low tide. Little nuggets of gold delight, saved from the shifting sands. I recommend wearing safety glasses and sturdy rubber gloves when hammering the right little rocks. I am going to show you a video of me splitting an ammonite out of a little limestone rock in the Summer months. This little rock splitting video has done very well on CZcams for me with millions of views.So look and learn how i spend alot of time sizing the rock up. Fossil hunting really does take hours of patience and persistence. I’m then going to show you me looking for those ammonite bearing rocks around January time. 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 ------www.lymeregisfossilwalks.com There is a fossil collecting code of conduct in place along the Jurassic Coast.

The larger fossil found in this video was a chunk of ammonite with suture patterns. The lines are formed at the intersection of the outer shell wall and the septa. We have longer CZcams videos, I go fossil hunting a lot at low tide in the Winter. czcams.com/video/WFwhRqpgK_o/video.html click the link to see our fossil hunting video thanks 🙏
Still waiting for the fossil hunting tips
Try my CZcams video “10 Fossil Hunting Mistakes,” that’s another CZcams video that I made. It’s got some good tips in there .
Why do you sound so bitchy for a guy? This man made a nice video with plenty of tips. Grow up.
That’s Filey!
Dayum I love your Lyme Regis Coast! It even has a cool name. Without you I would never have even known it existed. What a wonderful world 💖
Thanks 🙏 very much for your comments, it is a real rugged and wild part of the world. It’s been subject to a lot of movement like landslides and mudslips and remains untouched for building on because of the landscapes dynamic nature!
Thank you for sharing a great video. ☺️👍
Thanks 🙏
What a cute little video. Thanks friend!
Thank you too
Very nice video, thanks for sharing your tips .
Thank you 🙏
Fantastic as always, thanks Brandon.
Cheers for that, thanks 🙏 for you comment. It’s been mighty wet down here along the Jurassic Coast
The sutures on that first ammonite piece you found are simply amazing, and that last rock you split is wonderful! I never ventured past the Ammonite Pavement before, but on my next trip I'm definitely going to Pinhay Bay after seeing your videos. Do you ever go to Stonebarrow? I found some nice things there but they are so hard to clean!
Thanks 🙏 yes I do go to Stonebarrow a bit . I used to be there a lot at low tide when I was a lot younger. The fossil collecting around past the ammonite pavement can be good on the point there . There is quite a lot of iron pyrite there . The pyrite has some Promicroceras sp. ammonites in it . I’ve found some good vertebrae there as well ichthyosaur and plesiosaur
Beautiful weather, wonderful beach, super specimens and perfect video. In the New Year I wish you much health and only beautiful days at the beach. I wish you to find only beautiful specimens on the Juraisic Coast. Greetings from Poland 😍👋
Thanks 🙏 for all the comments. All the best to you for 2023. Greetings 🖖 from the Jurassic Coast, I hope 🤞 I find some more good fossils to show you 🙌!
@@LymeRegisFossils 😍👋 All waiting for the good videos 😄👍
Thanks 🙏 I have some on their way, also this one czcams.com/video/WFwhRqpgK_o/video.html I really get a good ammonite block in that one
Brilliant video ❤️
Thanks 🙏 for watching
Here is a video with a beautiful ammonite bed , I found in the stormy ⛈️ weather czcams.com/video/WFwhRqpgK_o/video.html
Excellent as always Brandon,those Arni blocks look promising 💪
Thanks 🙏 very much, it was a lot of fun finding those .
I live in Weymouth I would love to go fossil hunting one day it looks very cool I don’t know where to go to find fossils near me though.
Thanks 🙏 I’ve got one video on CZcams called “ Ammonite Lyme Regis.” That really shows you how to find the fossils and what to do !
Miss this place and Dorset in general, I'm finally visiting again next month. Thank you for the great videos, very nostalgic (not to mention informative).
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you have good weather week for your visit 🙌🙏
@@LymeRegisFossils Thank you hahah, with the UK I can sure use it ;)
Hi, i visted you shop today, thanks so much for all your help had a great day found some cool bits including very golden looking iron pirite chunk of ammonite. Thanks jake. ( flint echinoid fossil guy) be back v soon maybe do guided tour.
( flint urchin fossil) i ment not echiniod. You told me and i still got it wrong. Thanks again
You are so welcome!🙏 it was good to see your beautiful sea urchin find in flint on a photograph ! It was an astonishing gardening find . I forget to say I do gardening here at Lyme Regis and have an allotment, which is all good fun !
Muy interesante lugar. I like much me. Te felicito por tus vídeos. Espero alguna fecha para visitar tal lugar y ayudarte a colectar fósiles extraordinarios.
Thanks very much for your comments
i found this smooth stone one time i was in a forrest but im not sure if it has a fossil in it ill try to give details
colour: greyish brown
shape: its like an triangle but with a few curves
Maybe you’ve got something comparable in a local museum that way- you could see ?
❤
Thanks 🙏
Myself and partner are going to Lyme Regis in September and planning on trying to find our own fossils. We have a tide table from a previous visit for the current year but was wondering what kind of tide height would you say is suitable to go exploring during which would give us the best chance of finding some fossils?
September can be a good time of year to find fossils along the Jurassic Coast- at low tide. It’s best fossil hunting an hour before low tide and an hour afterwards. Beware of the dangerous cliffs that are liable to fall suddenly and without warning. I’m in my shop in September, so I will have an idea of the prevailing weather conditions and state of the beach.
@@LymeRegisFossils We will definitely come and visit you in your shop! We are spending Monday to Friday in Lyme Regis for my birthday. I am autistic and fossils are one of my special interests so would be super excited to see if I could find my own special memories to take home with me from our trip😊
I had a look at your website and saw that you’ll be doing walks again. How much do the fossil walks cost (not the private ones) and what kind of dates? Would be super cool to have this experience.
I just do the private fossil hunting trips now and they are very busy. I get booked up well in advance for these
I have 1 and 200 cris
Do people still call wellies wellingtons lol? Iv never heard the full word in years 😂
I like calling them by both their names, thanks for your comments. 🥾 🌊
I have two😊 fossil
It’s great fun 🤩 finding them 👌🌀
QUESTO PENSO CHE SIA IL VOSTRO VIDEO PEGGIORE, MEGLIO I VOSTRI SHORTS, NEI VUDEO ANNOIATE
It was a lovely sunny day along the beach so I got the camera out to film 🎥- all filmed as I went along on my daily search 👀 for fossils . My short videos get 10 million views some of them so they must be better liked 🙌
Thanks for the video man. Gonna try this in my area⛏️🗿🦪
Thanks we are lucky to be able to fossil hunt on the beaches of Lyme Regis - at low tide! The sea does the work for you washing the fossils out of the mudslides- and onto the beaches! There is a fossil collecting code in operation along the Jurassic Coast.
