A fossil collector in the Cotswolds has discovered a perfectly preserved section of spine belonging to a dinosaur which lived on Earth 180 million years ago 🦕

Joe, 20, from Lymington, Hampshire, came across the rare finding on one of his frequent searches of the area and knew straight away he had found something special.

‘What is special about them is they are really well preserved compared to a lot of other stuff you can get. Joe, who studies palaeontology and evolution at the University of Bristol, admitted it was quite a surprise to find the remains in such great condition. ‘I’ve got a few contacts at the university where I’m studying so I got them ID’d from there which is great.’Joe, who goes searching at least once a week, has become a mini social media star since he began sharing his findings with the fossil community last year.
