Dinosaurland Fossil Museum is an independent museum which is owned and run by Palaeontologist Steve Davies. It is a traditional museum using the beauty and majesty of more than 30,000 specimens to show just how exciting and interesting the world of fossils and dinosaurs really is.

This is a spectacular display of the local Jurassic marine fossils ranging from the tiniest microfossil to the largest Ichthyosaur and most things in between.

We introduce you to geological time and explain how we can date rocks. A time line runs up the stairs to give you an idea of the vastness of geological time and to show how insignificant man is.

A collection of present day shells, skeletons and taxidermy to try and show you how present day life if related to what we see in the fossil collection.

A variety of smaller displays ranging from the mineral collection to fossils from Devon.

The pioneering fossil hunter Mary Anning was baptised in the building that houses my collection. There are many connections with her and her times.

One of the great delights is finding your own 200 million year old fossil and this is easy to do in Lyme Regis.

The museum was set up and is run according to a very specific set of values and a traditional philosophy.
