It's been a year of new displays to come and see in the Centre and they've not stopped yet! This exceptionally preserved ichthyosaur found by Chris Moore has just been put on display. It's covered in fossil skin so detailed we can even see the shape of its paddles! #FossilFriday

In need of a bit more light this time of the year? We've certainly had a few dark and gloomy days this Winter but these brilliant ammonite desk lamps definitely help! Available in our Centre gift shop while stocks last!

You can tell it's December with a freezing cold start like today's. It does mean you get some pretty spectacular views as the sea mist rolls on the waves though so it's definitely worth coming down for!

Planning trips for when we've got some (hopefully) warmer weather? If you're looking to go fossil hunting in 2026 or just planning what days there will actually be a beach to go relax on then you'll want this! Tide times for 2026 are now available in the Centre gift shop.

Well done to the 30 people who braved the wet and wild weather on our fossil walk today. 3 ichthyosaur bones were found and HollyandtheHerd found this tiny crinoid star tucked in the end of a belemnite! #FossilFind

Shout out to Akbar who found this rare piece of fossil chimaera tooth plate on last weekends's fossil walk! Chimeras are shark-like fish, with teeth designed for crushing and grinding their shelly prey. #FossilFriday
