In Search of Sea Dragons

A Fossil Hunter's Odyssey

After surviving a terrifying avalanche on the slopes of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Matthew Myerscough took up a new hobby: fossil hunting. Since then, he has become well-known in the fossil hunting community for finding spectacular marine reptile fossils on the beaches near his home.

Recounting his journey from novice to expert, In Search of Sea Dragons sees him venturing to a variety of places, including lesser-known sites in South Wales, Somerset and North Yorkshire, where he makes exciting discoveries and searches for his dream find – a complete ichthyosaur. His story is one of personal growth and maturing into adulthood as well as a practical guide for aspiring fossil hunters. As his months-long search for the second half of an ichthyosaur draws to a close, he considers what’s more rewarding? The discovery or the things you find along the way.
