      Hello Daisy!

      When I was a kid I used to go fossil hunting with my father near a place called Lyme Regis, Dorset. We used to find ammonites (you can see it on my bio page – click the drop down menu).

      I really wanted to study dinosaurs but then I started to become more interested in how fossils form, especially the squishy bits, like eyes, that get preserved sometimes. I’m very lucky I can do what I love as a job, but so can you if you work hard! 😀
