Jurassic Coast

The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site on the English Channel coast of southern England.

Geology
The Jurassic Coast consists of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous cliffs, spanning the Mesozoic Era, documenting 180 million years of geological history. This area was home to Mary Anning, a palaeontologist who studied the fossils of the coastline around Lyme Regis and discovered the first complete ichthyosaur fossil.
