alright well this is one of the first fossils I found from the Kimmeridge clay in and this
is one that's sort of probably committed me to collecting s** in the Kimmeridge clay.
When I came down to Kimmeridge I went around in what we call
the army ranges and came back with this sort of little bit of a cliff wall and imagine
these have been glued together but these big chunks were lying all over the beach and I
suddenly realized what I knew what I had because there was a comparative one which was in the
Dorset County Museum and when you see bones of this size in clay and then there're really
good and it was quite something exciting so I picked up as many chunks of bones I could
and came back the next day was it on a Monday again to try and find out where it was coming
from because it must have fallen from a cliff but I didn't know exactly where so I found
the location it was right up in this sort of cliff and it was quite high up and you
could just see the line that they had come out with one section of this sort of bone
and you could see still two chunks of bones there and there stuck out this whole cliff
either side of the cliff. so I got quite excited about it and over this sort of weeks and months
I found more chunks of bones and some that got washed in amongst the shingles and after
about a year after looking at this thing I thought well I'm going to try to see what
we can get up of this thing so we got this big roll up steered out and went down there
one day and rolled this thing up and friends with me but there was only my brothers with
me because the others were shaken up and came up with us because it was quite high
