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.
