And the guide recognised it as something interesting, put a picture on our group chat.
I spotted the picture, immediately rushed down because I recognised what it was and spoke to Heather and she kindly donated it to the museum.
Yeah, she was actually after something else, I think, wasn't she, though?
That's right.
An ammonite.
She was an ammonite, which are an extinct type of squid-type creature that lived in a shell.
And that's what she was hoping to find.
I mean, this is a thousand, a million times better than that.

How long did it take you to work out exactly what it was and sort of, you know, prove what it was?
Pretty much as soon as I saw it in person.
Really?
I'd got a very good idea from the photograph.
But as soon as I saw it in person, it just 100% confirmed what I thought it was.
Yeah.
How often do these sort of level of finds happen?
Well, surprisingly often.
You've got to remember the number of eyes that are on our Jurassic Coast, our World Heritage Site for its paleontology down here.
There's large numbers of people who go fossil collecting.
So they do, these rare, unusual finds turn up far more frequently than you might expect and usually to people who are not professional paleontologists.
