A Plesiosaur walk on the beach
Can you imagine walking along a beach, looking down and seeing a plesiosaur?
Sea reptile fossil found on beach
Nick Collard discovered the bones of the plesiosaur – a 1.5 metre-long sea creature which lived 188 million years ago – on the beach at Bridgwater Bay.
That must have been such a rush. I know that when I found a dinosaur footprint one time it was quite a feeling. This one must have been amazing.
I wish there had been a better photo, that’s all….

I was taking a ramble through Bristol Uni’s
report paper on BB roll-outs and also our lovely little program “courseGenie” – well thats the commercial bit done with.
The link was from someones list:
“People I Would like to meet”
Michelle was there!
Interesting article – I once found a pelvic bone
from an ichthyosaur on the covered beach section
at Lyme Regis – a holiday spent digging.
I wish it had been this :
http://www.charmouthfossils.co.uk/ Charmouth is the next small town along the bay.
Anyhow, mostly only have time for digging up courseGenie interest nowadays!
Best Wishes Mike.
