With the Jura chic coast (Jurassic Coast), it is the shore facing English Channel of the South. It was enrolled in a world heritage (natural inheritance) of the UNESCO in 2001. According to the name, the stratum formed in the Mesozoic Jurassic exists here, and it is known even that the fossil of the ammonite is seen.

General statement
The Jura chic coast lengthens for approximately 153 kilometers from Orcombe Point in the suburbs of the essence trout (Exmouth) in eastern Devon to old Harry locks in the suburbs of Suwa Ney di(Swanage) in eastern Dorset (Old Harry Rocks) [1]. The Jura chic coast was registered with a world heritage of the UNESCO by a registration name to be called "Dorset and East Devon Coast" (Dorset and East Devon Coast) in 2001. This is registration of the second case next to a Giants Coe way on the British mainland. In addition, I walk on a south West Coast path (South West Coast Path) in the whole area targeted for registration and, as of 2004, become good [2]. In addition, a point most of high altitudes in Jura chic coast is a point of 191 meters above see level of the Golden cap (Golden Cap).
Earth science-like commentary
In the Jura chic coast, stratum formed at an old place 250 million years ago is exposed. In a Triassic period equal to the Mesozoic, stratum made in the Cretaceous in the Jurassic exists here, and this stratum forms a cliff. There is still the cliff in the Jura chic coast in the rock which was formed in the old times so as to go to the west (these strata record the history of the earth for about 185 million years.), and there is it in a gradually new rock as I go to the east. In the times when these strata were made (i.e., a rock of the neighborhood of old Harry locks located the east most in Jura chic coast is new most.), I act in the times that a dinosaur lived in, and there is the fossil of the ammonite closely in the rocky place of the shore. The outstanding topography where several are characteristic of exists in this whole area. For example, I include natural bridge of the da dollar door (Durdle Door), topography made by an inlet and a fold of ラルウォース コウヴ (Lulworth Cove), Portland Island (Isle of Purbeck) [explanatory note 1]. In addition, the Che sill beach (Chesil Beach) is known as a model example of a tombolo and the storm shore (storm beach). Because various places deserving special mention geologically are seen, this place becomes a target of the international geological survey.
Furthermore, this ground is the place that was a headquarters of paleontologist Mary Anning. She investigated the fossil which there was in the shoreline around lime Regis (Lyme Regis) and discovered the complete frame of reptiles considered, as a result, to have lived in the sea called an ichthyosaurus for the first time. Although there is the ichthyosaurus with Saul's, this is not a dinosaur. However, this creature was the evidence that existed without a mistake, and, as for 2 meters of frames of the ichthyosaurus with the length having come out, this fossil told the human that such a large-scale reptiles existed on the ex-earth. This ichthyosaurus is a friend of reptiles of the oceanic climate that prospered in the Jurassic from a Triassic period. Reptiles enter the sea, and it is thought that it is the creature which evolved in the figure similar to fish. In addition, the fossil of reptiles considered to have lived in the sea called the plesiosaur is discovered by Mary Anning. These fossils became the clue which knew that the huge reptiles existed at a dinosaur and the same period.
History
During World War II, some divisions of the Jura chic coast were put for the jurisdiction of the British Department of the Army at the time. In addition, one of the largest base of the British navy boiled Portland harbor (Portland Harbour). In the land which was a military base, there is the land returned to the private jurisdiction later. However, the military base of ボヴィントン (Bovington) is used as one of the main military base now, and, as a result, in the part area of the Jura chic coast, an entrance is limited.
In addition, the description about the wrecked ship often appears to the history book of this area because this area is known as a frequent occurrence zone of the sea disaster accident, and the accident of several occurred in the past. It was remarkable, but a difficult place of the traffic on the seas was in this whole area, and many ships were wrecked around Portland in particular. I brought heavy damage in environment by MSC Naples of the containership running onto the beach in a buran comb (Branscombe) of the シドマス (Sidmouth) neighborhood in January, 2007, and much oil and loads having begun to flow [3].
In addition, this area was often collected data on by media, and the program about this area has been made. For example, in British TV program "seven wonders (Seven Natural Wonders) of nature", it was taken up as mysterious (wonder) one in southwestern U.K. In addition, by the reader vote that a Radio Times magazine (Radio Times) performed in 2005, Jura chic coast was chosen as the wonder fifth place of British nature.
Town equal to the doorway
The Gulf of west (West Bay) became able to take the role as the doorway of the whole area by Jura chic wharf (the Jurassic Pier) having been completed in 2004 [4].
The way trout (Weymouth) located near the world heritage registration local center is important for the town equal to the doorway. In the way trout pavilion (Weymouth Pavilion) of the compound facilities which there was in this town, the facilities (World Heritage Site visitors' centre) for world heritage visitors were established, too. In addition, this town is a health resort eminent U.K., and there are people gathering around the cliff along the shore among tourists enjoying the sea in summer. This is because the fossils such as ammonites are easily found here.
Registration standard
Considered that this world heritage met the following standards in the world heritage registration standard, and registration was accomplished (the following standards are translation, quotation from a registration standard of the world heritage center publication).
- (8) It is the remarkable sample indicating the main stage in the history of the earth. The record of the creature, the geographic characteristic that is important to the progress process of the important earth science in the development of the topography, a natural geographical characteristic are included in this.
