Fossil hunting is a fun and easy hobby to get into, but how do you get started? The good news is you don't have to be an expert palaeontologist to find fossils of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Guided by Megan, Jack and Theo from ‪@wightcoastfossils7921‬ we tried our hand at fossil collecting on the Isle of Wight.
Join us as we visit some of the top locations on the island, explore through millions of years of geological time and discover evidence of prehistoric animals, from ammonites to dinosaurs!
