And he said, yeah, send it to me.

And he actually read that last year whilst on tour with Guns N' Roses.

incredible I just I remember him saying it and it made me laugh because I was thinking between you know between sets of something he's playing sweet child of mine and then reading about dinosaur mating yeah

Yeah, funny you say that.

Yeah, we have actually had that discussion about doing something along those lines.

Maybe something in the book or TV side of things.

Yeah, I'd love to.

Absolutely love to.

I really enjoyed it.

And it's something, working as a broadcaster, is something I never thought I would do.

But I was working with the wonderful Ellie Harrison, who was the presenter and me as the co-host, kind of going around Britain and meeting paleontologists and me kind of showing her some incredible fossils found in Britain.

And I had such a wonderful time doing it.

And I think the bigger picture for me is that you can reach such a massive, much broader audience.

And if you can...

communicate it in such a fun and engaging way you can then supercharge people's passions for something like paleontology.

Yeah, so a really good friend of mine and fossil collector called Paul de la Salle, he had snapped a few photographs of a portion of giant jawbone that he'd found on the Somerset Coast, and he'd sent them to me, and immediately my jawbone was hit the floor, because I remember thinking, wow, this thing's enormous, and he'd only found fragments of it, but it was a giant...

It's about a meter long chunk of jawbone of a bone called the serangula, which is part of the lower jaw of a giant ichthyosaur.

Now, this was just probably about 25% of the actual completeness of the actual full bone.

And altogether, just like scaling that up, the animal it belonged to would have been about 25 meters long.

So you're talking like a blue whale sized ichthyosaur.
