There are many complexities to the Jurassic Coast Story. Far more than can be explored in any level of detail on a single webpage. If there is specific information you are looking for, please contact us at info@jurassiccoast.org.

Please click ‘read more’ below to access journal article links cited on our social media channels.

This section will give a short insight to the overall story, offering more in-depth scientific understanding of the geological formations and processes of the Dorset and East Devon Coast and its array of Palaeontological resources.

This content will be updated on a regular basis, as new scientific research emerges. The Jurassic Coast story is investigated at a higher education level in the ‘Our Dynamic Coast’ area of the website.

If you feel you might benefit from geological or palaeontological experience, have a look at our volunteer opportunities or contact us to find out more, by emailing info@jurassiccoast.org.
