🌳 We were pleased to welcome Martin Lisec to the Geopark this week.
🖼️ His artwork is helping us to tell the story of our ancient fossils, and how animal life first evolved around 560 million years ago!

It was a pleasure to work with our lovely colleagues @NHM_London to bring the iconic Megalosaurus type specimen from Oxford to London today, for the 200 Years of Dinosaurs Conference!
The iconic fossil used in the 1824 description of the first dinosaur ever named
