Dog finds dolphin-like ‘ichthyosaur’ skeleton on beach in Somerset


17 Dec 2019

A dog walker has found a dolphin-like dinosaur skeleton while out walking on a beach.

Poppy and Sam (dogs) became excited by a bone that had become exposed as a result of rough seas on the Somerset coast.

Their owner Jon Gopsill, 54, thought there was something prehistoric about the skeleton and he believes it may be an ichthyosaur.

He found the Jurassic sea mammal remains on Saturday and is now in touch with the Natural History Museum and Somerset Heritage about his find.
