The Seaton Jurassic experience
At Seaton Jurassic we’ll take you on a journey like no other – back in time!
Share the excitement of the discoveries made by local fossil hunters, geologists and evolutionary-thinkers as they uncovered the stories of life on Earth. Travel aboard our time-ship back to the Jurassic World, 200 million years ago. (You’re in charge, you take the ship’s controls and decide which prehistoric creatures you meet!) Experience the fight for survival as you land in a giant rockpool! With loads of hands-on activities and a fun garden to explore you’ll have a great day out whatever the weather! Your adventure starts here…

‘Duria Antiquior’ (or A More Ancient Dorset), is a watercolour painted in 1830 by Henry De La Beche. It is the first pictorial reconstruction of the Jurassic Life of Dorset, based on the evidence from fossils found by Mary Anning.
The creatures it illustrates were all discovered by Mary, and include an Ichthyosaur, Plesiosaur, Pterosaur, Belemnite, Ammonite and Crinoid. Prints of the original painting were sold to raise much needed funds for Mary.
