Early in the morning, the tide starts to recede, leaving behind "fresh" fossils |
Fossil hunters start combing the beach. |
A good place to look is where the mud flows out of the "porridge" |
Fragments of Ammonites are a common find |
The best Ammonites are still within the rock. These will be taken back to the workshop and extracted |
Some people have been doing this professionally for 20+ years. |
All heads are down. Sharp eyes are needed to spot fossils amongst the pebbles. |
The Jurassic coast is famously erratic. Rock falls are a constant danger. |
As the tide starts to encroach, a fossil hunter heads back with the findings of the day |
