EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the picturesque coastal town of Lyme Regis in Dorset, England, during the Victorian era. The Lower Jurassic cliffs in the background, a geological marvel, are a testament to the rich history of the Mesozoic Era. The layers of sedimentary rocks, including the Lower Lias and Charmouth Mudstone, bear witness to the diverse marine life that once inhabited this region during the Early Jurassic period, around 180 million years ago. Mary Anning (1799-1847), a renowned fossil collector, made Lyme Regis her home and contributed significantly to the scientific community with her discoveries of prehistoric marine reptiles and other fossils. The limestone and other sedimentary rocks in the area provided the perfect conditions for the preservation of these ancient treasures. The photograph, taken in the 19th century, showcases the stunning beauty of the area, with the intricate patterns of the sedimentary rock formations contrasting against the vibrant greenery and the vast expanse of the sea. The quaint Victorian houses and the stone paviors in the foreground add a touch of charm to the scene, transporting us to a bygone era. The Lower Jurassic cliffs, a part of the Phanerozoic Eon, offer a glimpse into the prehistoric world and the wonders of nature that continue to fascinate us. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and natural beauty that awaits us in the fields and landscapes of Great Britain and Europe.
