Brixington Primary School pupils learned about the Jurassic Coast, dinosaurs and fossils during a trip to Charmouth
The youngsters were taken around Charmouth heritage centre before being taken on a warden-led search for fossils on the beach at Black Ven.
A Brixington Primary School spokeswoman said: “The excited children and their adult helpers eagerly turned rocks and stones hunting for belenmites, ammonites and crinoids.
“No-one was disappointed and everyone returned to the coach with their ancient treasures.”
The pupils were also given an exclusive tour of the centre’s aquarium - where they watched mullet being hand fed, met a 35-year-old lobster and learned about the feeding habits of starfish. They also tried their hand at creating flint and limestone Plesiosaurs on the beach.
