Mortals go archaeology ~ Jurassic Coast in southern England

The Jurassic Coast, located in eastern Devonshire and Dorset, England, has a 153-kilometer coast and is covered with a large number of fossils and dinosaur footprints. It is the first place in England to be designated a World Heritage Site by the United Nations, with fewer overseas tourists and more locals. Usually go to Lyme Regis in Dorset as a landing spot, because history has produced a great man. In 1810, 11-year-old Mary Anning discovered an ichthyosaur skeletal fossil here at Lyme Regis, and later found more D, growing up to become the world's first professional fossilist. The entire coastline contains 200 million years of geological changes, this area is the South England Cliff Fault, the English Channel strong winds and waves through the wind and waves years of cannibalism accumulated a large amount of fossil sediment rolled into the coast. It also boasts the world’s rare Early Jurassic exposed fault, no wonder you can find so many dinosaur fossils like in “Jurassic Park”. Large and well-preserved Jurassic fossils are placed in the archaeological museum Lyme Regis Museum and another fossil museum, the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum. However, even strolling along the coastal beaches it is easy to see fossils of marine life, of which ostriches are the majority. Many British parents bring their children over, or school excursions like to come, summer is really full, weekend accommodation is hard to find. Adults and children will pick up stones on the rocky beach when the tide goes out and fight to find the 10,000-year-old fossils. #OverseasTravel #2023 Travel Wishes I hope to study dinosaurs at Jurassic Park, which opened in May 2019 in Seoul
