A beach of jewels--fossils--yes an abundance of fossils and beautiful geological formations, shale and blue lias layering, limestone structures, and architectural structures  formed over time like natural amphitheaters with seating looking out to sea--the sea the actor performing every day all year round and in all weathers accompanied by wind and rain and the tides--reshaping the landscape--erosion the outcome revealing hidden gems, exposing wondrous time formations. Yes this experience  was over whelming meeting the fossil ancestors from 200 million years ago when all this was land and sometimes covered with ice at other periods in time--plants and animal life trapped in time , stored for us but now fragile and although captured in time could be lost in time as the planet changes  its meteorological course, when us humans attack and destroy sometimes unintentionally as we   collect and gather ----hunters and gatherers of fossils compared with berries and herbs---thank goodness for museums and protected coastlines and education---to help save and preserve our inheritance......
