Matthew Myerscough

Come on a delightfully obsessive search for marine dinosaur fossils… and reimagine what really matters in life along the way. Matthew Myerscough was a keen mountaineer until he was caught up in a terrifying avalanche on Yr Wyddfa as a young man. Searching for a less extreme hobby as he healed, he returned to his childhood passion of fossil-hunting on the beaches near his home in South Wales. Here he charts his journey from novice to expert, taking in some jaw-dropping discoveries on the way. He’s still searching for his dream find – a complete ichthyosaur. But what’s more rewarding – the grand discovery, or the unexpected treasures you come across as you search?
