Plesiosaur Fossil
This impressive fossil was discovered in 2003 by local fisherman Nick Collard whilst fishing in the Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve. The plesiosaur had swam in the local seas 185 million years ago during the Jurassic era. It is rare to find such a complete skeleton and permission was granted to excavate it. It is currently on show in the Museum of Somerset in Taunton.
