Simon and Hugo headed down to Lyme Regis for a few days to hunt for expired dinosaurs. 

---

Drove down to Lyme Regis and set up our tent before heading down to Monmouth Beach in Lyme Regis.

Only a meter of meters onto the Beach and Hugo found his first fossil, a 20cm ammonite embedded into a rock. He found several ammonites of varying sizes on our walls as well as a few small trilobites.

At the Lyme Regis Museum, Hugo learned all about Mary Anning, who was one of the first known Palaeontologists (dinosaur scientist). The museum is a replica of Mary’s house that overlooks Lyme Regis. Street lamps in Lyme Regis look like ammonite fossils.

On Charmouth Beach, Hugo found more ammonites and a small belemnite. At the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre, Hugo learned more about fossil excavation from the beaches and saw one of the world’s most complete fossils of a plesiosaur. Discovered in 2007, the fossil is named after the dog, ‘Raffle’ who found the fossil at Monmouth Beach.
