Jurassic Coast: A History

The Jurassic Coast is just over 150 kilometres long, but contains a rich tapestry of history dating back 185 million years to the Mesozoic Era. Located between East Devon to Dorset in England, the name comes from the exposed geography showing off rock formations from the Jurassic, Triassic, and Cretaceous periods. Fossil collector Mary Anning discovered countless different marine reptiles and other fossils, helping the then-niche field of palaeontology explode in popularity. The site was placed on the World Heritage list in 2001, and continues to be a popular attraction for tourists to visit. 

In this episode we'll be taking a step back in time and exploring the immensely interesting history of the site and what humanity has discovered and learned from the findings there. We'll also look at the geography of the Jurassic Coast and what can be found in the nearby towns and settlements. We're also going to discuss the many different species throughout the millennia that have called the Coast home and whose fossils have told us so much about the Earth's magnificent past.

Seaside Stories: The History of the Jurassic Coast

In this episode we'll be looking at the different rocks, fossils, and formations that are present in the Jurassic Coast and what they can, have, and continue to teach us about the world. Each layer of rock, each towering sea stack, and each piece of sandstone all have a long, rich history and help us understand how the Earth shifted to form different land masses millions of years ago. The geology of the Jurassic Coast is both varied and fascinating, so join us as we discuss what makes it such a well known and respected site.

Unearthing Time: The Geology of the Jurassic Coast

For our final episode in our visit to the Jurassic Coast, we're looking at one of the most remarkable people to have made the area their home. Mary Anning was born to a humble, impoverished family and had to begin working at a young age to help support her parents and eight siblings. She developed a keen eye for fossils and other curiosities buried in the sand and went on to become arguably the biggest pioneer of early palaeontology. Her numerous discoveries would have earned her widespread scientific acclaim and recognition, but for the circumstances of her birth and life. Tune in and join us as we bid farewell to the Jurassic Coast, and end this podcast with an examination of the story of Mary Anning and her contributions to fossil hunting and the world of palaeontology.
