Eldorado Posted January 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2022 "I rang up the county council and I said I think I've found a dinosaur," explained Joe Davis, who works at Rutland Water Nature Reserve. During landscaping work at the reserve's reservoir in February 2021, he'd spotted something odd poking out of the mud. It wasn't a dinosaur. But it was the fossilised remains of a ten-metre long sea predator called an ichthyosaur. And it was the largest of its type ever discovered in the UK. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-59915689 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted January 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It was planted there by Rutland County Council as a publicity stunt, because nobody's heard of the place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
