International Geodiversity Day 🌍🪨
To mark International Geodiversity Day and the Jurassic Coast's 25th anniversary as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we're celebrating the launch of a new online fossil catalogue.
The new website gives access to more than 600 fossil records and allows new discoveries to be recorded, helping to connect collectors, researchers, museums and communities while preserving our world-renowned fossil heritage for future generations.

Have you ever wondered how your local coastline used to look, or how it might change in the future? We’re inviting children and their families to become Coast Detectives and take part in the Our Coast: Then, Now, Next challenge.
Investigate old photos, listen to stories from parents or grandparents, explore what the coast looks like today, and use your imagination to picture what might come next. You can share your discoveries through drawings, photos, interviews, writing, or short videos.
Your clues will help us piece together the story of our changing coast, past, present, and future.
Ready to start investigating? Join the challenge and share what you uncover!
