WHERE #BRISTOL DINOSAUR WAS DISCOVERED
Fossil remains of what would later be named Thecodontosaurus – a sheep-sized herbivore – were found in a quarry near the Downs close to where a plaque will soon be unveiled on High Street by the path leading to Quarry Steps.

Celebrated the bicentennial anniversary of naming of Megalosaurus by graduating with a Master’s in Palaeobiology from the University of Bristol. Couldn’t be more happier and of course had to take a picture with Theco to commemorate the occasion!!
