Author Biography

Matthew Myerscough is a civil engineer and fossil hunter based in Cardiff. With a particular passion for finding ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs, Matthew has become well-known in the fossil-hunting community for making spectacular marine reptile discoveries. Some of his notable finds include a beautifully preserved ichthyosaur skull, a rare plesiosaur flipper, and the lower jaw from a 16-foot-long pliosaur, the first of its kind found in Wales, which Matthew has donated to the National Museum Cardiff. When he’s not scouring the beaches in search of new finds, Matthew may be found playing with his young daughter or riding his bicycle. Matthew is also a qualified Mountain Leader and has survived an avalanche.
