At Wight Coast Fossils we offer award-winning guided fossil walks and educational experiences on the stunning UNESCO Biosphere coastline of the Isle of Wight, UK! Globally renowned for its rich fossil record spanning 130 million years, the Isle of Wight’s coast tells a fascinating story of ancient life, from our world-famous early Cretaceous dinosaurs and giant ammonites to fossil mammals and ice age megafauna!

New book available for pre orders!
As some of you may know, our guide Megan has been working hard on a new, fully comprehensive book, A field guide to the fossils and geology of the Isle of Wight, which is now available for pre orders!!
Unlike previous books, which are very academic, this is aimed at the general reader, with lots of explanations and figures to help you understand all the main aspects of the geology, plus a very extensive fossil identification section! Allowing you to learn more about the island’s prehistoric past and identify any finds!
