William Whiskerson – hunting for fossils along the Jurassic Coast

William Whiskerson visits Sophie and Cameron in Lyme Regis. They meet a fossil expert and learn how fossils were formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. They go hunting for fossils on the beach then visit a fossil museum. Here they see the skeleton of an ichthyosaur and even some fossilised poo!

Aerial shots and general views combined with maps, graphics and children’s comments introduce us to the physical features of Lyme Regis and demonstrate how fossils were formed along the Jurassic Coast.
