This #FossilFriday it's one we found a couple of days ago but a perfect split to reveal this stunning calcite ammonite! Sadly not ideal tides to head out today to find bits but who knows what's lurking out there for next week!

It's a beautiful morning down here in Charmouth after the wild winds and rain we had yesterday! So much calmer and even the Sun's back!

It's been a year of new displays to come and see in the Centre and they've not stopped yet! This exceptionally preserved ichthyosaur found by Chris Moore has just been put on display. It's covered in fossil skin so detailed we can even see the shape of its paddles! #FossilFriday

In need of a bit more light this time of the year? We've certainly had a few dark and gloomy days this Winter but these brilliant ammonite desk lamps definitely help! Available in our Centre gift shop while stocks last!

You can tell it's December with a freezing cold start like today's. It does mean you get some pretty spectacular views as the sea mist rolls on the waves though so it's definitely worth coming down for!
