Fossil Hunting at Lyme Regis

We have returned to London after a day of fossil hunting at Lyme Regis on the Dorset coast. It is called the Jurassic Coast and Keri was convinced that we could find fossils. She was correct (is she ever wrong?). The driving to get there from Poole was not traumatic and we arrived just as the tide was heading out. It just worked perfectly. We spent four hours looking but really started finding fossils after several hours. Ian found the first on, a huge Titanites giganteus (I had to look it up) which was too big for us to carry. We couldn't even lift it, let alone get it in our luggage at the end. We found many smaller ones we could keep so now we have a box of rocks to bring home. It really was a fun day.

We made it back to Heathrow to return the car without any additional trauma. We drove right by Stonehenge but didn't stop because we are going back there Tuesday. We stuck to the main roads and avoided the small towns without good direction markers and survived without losing any more years. We arrived back at our flat exhausted and ready for bed.
