For the last summer vacation of 2010 we went to Lyme Regis for a long weekend to go fossil hunting :) We came back with lots of fossil loot- if you want to see a photo skip to the end- and had an all around very fun time, especially as the sun graced us with its presence on the Monday :)
walking on rocks after the tide is out
Lyme harbour (tide in)
can you imagine a place more beautiful?
when the tide is in, adventurous fossil hunters (us) climb out on the slippy rocks to get to the beach with good fossils...
seaweed rock
I have a thing for rocks, it goes back to when I was little and would come home with rocks in my pockets. I like these knobbly, sea-worn ones
You can see how the cliff breaks away in layer on the left. That's why there are such good fossils always to be found.
mega-ammonite
whee :) :) :)
big ammonite someone carved out so you can see better detail
And our loot!!!

I remember coming home from vacations and finding your backpack filled with rocks - some quite big and heavy :)
