Lyme Regis is noted for the fossils found in the cliffs and on the beaches, which are part of the Heritage Coast known commercially as the Jurassic Coast , a World Heritage Site. The Jurassic Coast stretches over a distance of 95 miles, from Orcombe Point near Exmouth, in the west, to Old Harry Rocks, in the east.The coastal exposures along the coastline provide a continuous sequence of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rock formations spanning approximately 185 million years of the Earth's history. Many of the earliest discoveries of dinosaur and other prehistoric reptile remains were made in the area surrounding Lyme Regis, notably those discovered by Mary Anning (1799–1847) finds include Ichthyosaur, Plesiosaur, Dimorphodon, Scelidosaurus ) and Dapedium.
