You’re in good company if you’ve ever dreamed of stumbling upon a dinosaur skeleton, or of breaking open a rock to discover an impression of past life, hidden for millions of years. But there are only a handful of locations in the world where that fantasy is a real possibility. In our cover feature on page 20, we’ve explored how ancient animals and plants are fossilised in different ways. We’ve also spoken to a scientist and professional fossil hunter who recently found a new species of dinosaur on a British beach. Discover what you can do to increase your chances of finding fossils, and the best places to go to find them. Enjoy the issue!
