I always loved finding fossils as child, we were able to search the Jurassic Coast when my Dad was fishing, we used to find lots of good things.

Fascinating stuff Steve.
Love the photos.
That's right up my street to be honest. Used to be such a fossil hunter.

Got quite a good collection somewhere amongst my unopened boxes sent here on our first relocation.

I enjoy that too Peter, it's been a long time since I have been hunting for them, but you never lose the eye.
