Body painter Mark Gannon created the art work of the iconic landscapes – including Durdle Door, Portland Bill Lighthouse, Golden Cap and Sandford Castle – on faces, backs and bottoms.
'I liked the sound of him and he has been brilliant,' said 61-year-old Cheryl Reynolds, who came up with the idea.
'He's come up with loads of ideas for the calendar and nothing has ever been too much for him.
'I had a sabre tooth tiger fossil on my bottom and I was lying there for two hours while he painted it.
'We are all up for a laugh and to raise a bit of money for charity and have some fun.
'That's what it's all about,' added Mrs Reynolds, from Lyme Regis, Dorset.
The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site and stretches from Orcombe Point near Exmouth in East Devon to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage in East Dorset, a distance of 153km (95 miles).
