I was hoping someone could recommend a fossil prepping service in the uk. Ideally south east England. I have found what looks to be a virtually complete meyeria lobster from whale chine, Isle of Wight, uk. About 15cm. Fairly big from what I understand. It looks like it could turn out really well, but it’s such a complex prep, I was thinking it’s better someone with experience did it. If anyone could recommend someone who may be able to help I would be most grateful. Many thanks henry

I'm lucky enough to be visiting the Isle of Wight in a few weeks, and aim to get a few days fossil collecting on the South West coast. Just seeing if anyone can advise as to the chances of getting down Whale Chine at the moment. I know the council closed the path many years ago, and since then access seems to have become much more tricky. In March this year I got to the beach via the neighboring Shepherds Chine, but this is quite a trek. Looking at Whale Chine from beach level I just couldnt see any way of getting up, especially if fortunate enough to have found one of the large ammonites the place is famous for. Just wondering if other people have attempted this climb recently, and how treacherous it is? Thanks in advance.
