fossil hunting on the isle of wight

Did you know that the Isle of Wight offers some of the best chances of finding dinosaur fossils in the UK? Once upon a time, the grounds of this “Dinosaur Island” were part of a big river valley complex situated at the latitude of North Africa, where prehistoric creatures roamed the leafy lands and hid in rivers, ponds and swamps. Today, fossil hunters scour the island’s shores in search of relics of a long-ago time, while guided tours can help fossil enthusiasts search for palaeopathological treasures.
