#MolluscMonday: the Early Jurassic ammonite Psiloceras planorbis from Watchet on the Somerset coast, a locality visited by Mary Anning in 1832 (this is not one of her specimens, although she would have been familiar with these fossils and their iridescent shells).

Searching photos I've taken over the years at Lyme Regis, I found this one of the old sea wall and groynes at Church Cliffs that had to be negotiated to get back from Black Ven if you were caught by an incoming tide. Almost a rite of passage to slip and fall into the sea here. Been there, done that.
