Fossil Found By Girl
(N.Z.P.A.'Reuter)
CHARMOUTH (England)
A 13-year-old London girl, Sarah Parry-Evans, has shown on a television programme a fossil 150,000,000 years old which she found while on holiday at the seaside this summer.
The fossil weighs five hundredweight and has the head of an ichythyosaurus, an extinct fish-like reptile.
For the next 12 months it will remain in an acid bath in Sarah’s garden until the limestone clinging to it is soaked off.
Afterwards, it will be put on show at London’s Natural History Museum.
