The Jurassic Coast covers 95 miles of stunning coastline of Dorset and East Devon, with the rocks recording 185 million years of the Earth's history, dating from the early Jurassic period making it easy to find a wide range of spectacular fossils.

Due to cliff erosion, fossil deposits can still be found in large numbers on the beaches of the Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Portland and the world heritage site, including: ichthyosaurs, giant marine reptiles, bones from dinosaurs intricate crinoids and ammonites.

Tony Gill, the proprietor of Charmouth Fossils, started collecting for fun over 25 years ago, he is now a professional collector. Our shop is situated on the Dorset coastline in the pretty coastal village of Charmouth just below the Heritage Coast Centre on the Sea Front at Charmouth.
