Dear all,



If you have switched on any news channel or opened any webpage/actual paper this morning... you have probably seen coverage of an incredible discovery of the largest near-complete ichthyosaur ever found in Britain!



The dig was led by Dr Dean Lomax, Dr Mark Evans and specialist palaeontological conservator Nigel Larkin.



It was also my great pleasure to be part of the excavation team too!



Nigel Larkin, GCG committee member, has written a fantastic exclusive article for our readers...

With best wishes,
