DORSET · JURASSIC COAST
Explore the coastline from Lyme Regis towards Charmouth with a local collector who volunteered on guided walks at Charmouth Heritage Centre.

My name is Jake, and I’m a fossil hunter based on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. I’ve been hunting fossils full-time for a few years now, but my passion for collecting stones, crystals, and the occasional fossil goes back much further.
Before moving here, I worked as a gardener and would often pick up interesting finds, but fossils were rare where I lived. That all changed when I began visiting the Jurassic Coast regularly about two years ago. The sheer abundance of fossils amazed me, and after making the two-hour trip countless times, I decided to move here last year to be closer to this incredible coastline.
These days, I spend most of my time on the beach collecting fossils and then preparing them at home. Over time, I began selling some of my finds and realised this could grow into a new career.
Now, I’m starting an exciting new chapter: guided fossil walks from Lyme Regis heading east towards Charmouth—along the very same stretch of beach that Mary Anning, the famous “fossil lady of Lyme Regis,” once explored.
To deepen my knowledge, I spent a year volunteering at the Charmouth Heritage Centre, where I helped with guided walks and learned more about this fascinating coastline. Along the way, I’ve met wonderful people—the fossil-hunting community is incredibly welcoming, and it’s a privilege to be part of it.
I’d love for you to join me on a guided walk and experience the magic of this world-renowned fossil site for yourself. Come and discover the treasures hidden along the Jurassic Coast and enjoy a glimpse into the ancient past.

My name is Mohamed, and I am a geological tour guide in Morocco with a passion for fossils and the incredible geology of my country. I guide visitors to a variety of fossil-rich locations and can help make your trip both enjoyable and memorable.
Morocco is famous around the world for its spectacular fossils, and I can take visitors to exciting locations where fossils such as trilobites, ammonites, goniatites and dinosaur remains can be found and studied.
During the tours, I provide clear explanations in good English about the fossils, rocks and geology of the areas we visit, helping you understand the ancient environments and history behind the specimens you see.
I can also arrange much more than just the fossil tour itself. If required, I can help organise the whole trip, including transport and accommodation, making it easier for visitors to experience some of Morocco’s best fossil and geological locations without having to arrange everything separately.
Tours can be suitable for fossil collectors, enthusiasts, families and anyone interested in discovering Morocco’s remarkable natural history and landscapes.
If you would like to explore Morocco’s fossil sites, discover amazing specimens and learn more about the geology of this fascinating country, please feel free to contact me for further information, tour details and arrangements.
