The West Dorset Fossil Collecting Code of Conduct
The West Dorset Fossil Collecting Code of Conduct Developing a Code of Conduct A Working Group of landowners, conservation organisations, museum curators and local fossil collectors has developed this Fossil Collecting Code. The Group was established in order to address growing conflicts of interest with regard to fossil collecting along the West Dorset coast. The Group recognises the essential need for fossil collecting to continue. However, it also recognises that collecting must be carried out in such a way as to satisfy all those with an interest in our fossil heritage. This Code, though specifically aimed at professional and dedicated amateur collectors, also applies to all those who come here to collect fossils, whether for study or recreation. The safest and best advice, particularly for inexperienced collectors and educational groups, is that they should restrict their activities to the beaches alone. Advice to this effect is provided by interpretation signs, leaflets and the services of the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre. The Code has been developed by: Jurassic Coast project (Dorset County Council) English Nature The National Trust West Dorset Heritage Coast Project Charmouth Parish Council Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre Dorset and Somerset Museum Services Local fossil collectors The Geology and Fossils of the West Dorset coast The West Dorset coast contains one of the finest exposures of rocks from the Lower and Mid Jurassic Period to be found anywhere in the world. High erosion rates, particularly in the winter, ensure a plentiful supply of fossils onto the beaches. This coast is one of the best sources of marine Jurassic aged fossils in the world and numerous important finds have been and continue to be made here. -
