Cities And Memory

The Jurassic Coast is so called for its richness in terms of fossil finds and dinosaur discoveries, with this beach in Lyme Regis particularly well known for the huge number of ammonite fossils that can be found. In this recording as well as the waves and beach soundscape, you can hear the sound of dozens of people with chisels and homemade gear chippning away at rocks in the hope of discovering fossils to take home.  Recorded by Cities and Memory.  ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world’s most famous sights.  Find out more and explore the whole project: https://www.citiesandmemory.com/heritage
