Resort in Dorset on the English Channel noted for its prehistoric fossils (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

lyme regis

(Other definitions for lyme regis that I've seen before include "first section (of piece of music)" , "French Lieut.'s Woman town (Fowles)" , "Dorset coastal resort" , "Coastal town of Dorset" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
