Eype fossils in Eype, Dorset, United Kingdom | Attraction | Beach | Cliffs | Collection | Fossils

Eype fossils and fossil collecting offer a wonderful insight and adventure, and on the Eype nodule bed, you can start finding fossils almost immediately. Look out for blocks of 'Dorset Junction Bed', and look out for the layered colours unique to the Junction Bed and smash these open with a heavy lump hammer, then fine split using normal splitting hammers. Eype is a location where you have to work for your finds, take good strong heavy hammers to crack the Dorset Junction Bed rocks. They are usually packed full of Ammonites, shells and many other finds. The on-line shop of the UK fossil website will provide the amateur or professional with all the equipment necessary for a good fossil hunt, from hammers to sieves to stone tumblers and so much more - really fascinating.
