All the finds today in the new piles of stones , this piece of dinosaur bone was no exception and nice that it’s a chunk that can be identified as the end of a large nural spine , it looks like it has recently been broken checked all around but no sign of its companion piece .

Compton bay today in the smaller gravel , what I originally thought was a bit of dinosaur bone ended up being a Crocodile scute from 120 million years old , a small but more unusual to find than the Dino bone .

Well managed to get 3/4 of the way along Yaverland beach before the rain came down with a vengeance , but all worth it with today’s find , on that point the location of the find was directly down from the grey beds in the second photo for people who are interested .
