Great story, superbly told, thanks. You also imparted a lot of useful advice on the do's and do nots, very helpful.
Richard is a great story teller and has some amazing knowledge and experiences to relay. We personally found this a really insightful introduction to the geology of swanage.
Fascinating. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome specimen!
It is amazing, we are glad it is currently on display :)
I used to go rock climbing on the Swanage cliffs in the eighties and often saw ammonites, some of them quite big. I remember seeing the best one on a climb named Gymcrack, it was about one metre diameter. Never saw a croc though...
Finds like this arent common but can be found there :) This was just a particulaly lucky day for Richard.
Abcess? That's the maxillary depression, present in most goniopholidids and thought to house a gland of some kind (probably for excreting excess salt). Lovely specimen.
Surely the key point is that crocodiles have not evolved in the supposed 100 million years or whatever it is.Also, what was the cause of death, and how come the croc was preserved as a fossil ( if not in the biblical flood of 4500 years ago?)
