Had a brilliant time at Lyme Regis recently; I can see why they call this place the fossil hunters mecca. I was especially pleased with the fools gold ammonite I found; although extracting it proved more challenging than expected. Nonetheless finds were in abundance. Definitely a place to return

Damn this is a really cool thread :biggrin:

That’s the one; possibly the coolest geological layer in the whole of the U.K. :biggrin:

I suppose its gneiss in its own right….

More rock pics pls

Any recommendations of where to go ~Robin Hoods Bay/wider area? Looks like we're going there in a few months time and we've been fossil hunting a bit on the usual beach next to the Old Coastguards station but would like to explore a bit.
