Fossil Handling Sessions

"The Tide's In"

If you’ve timed your holiday with the kind of tides that would need a wetsuit and flippers to reach the fossil beds, don’t worry - we’ve got you covered. In this private, hands-on fossil handling session in Lyme Regis, you'll learn everything you need to know to confidently explore the Jurassic Coast once the tides turn in your favour.

 

You'll get to handle real fossils, discover what they are, how to spot them, and learn about the incredible prehistoric creatures they once were — from ancient ammonites to ichthyosaurs. We’ll also delve into the life and legacy of Mary Anning, Lyme Regis’s own pioneering fossil hunter who helped change the world of science.​​
