Matthew Myerscough
In Search of Sea Dragons: A Fossil Hunter's Odyssey
After surviving a terrifying avalanche on Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) as a young man, keen mountaineer Matthew Myerscough was forced to reevaluate his life. He returned to his childhood pastime, fossil hunting. Searching for spectacular marine reptile fossils on the beaches near his home developed into a new passion. He now has an impressive reputation amongst the fossil-hunting community and palaeontologists more widely.
Recounting his journey from novice to expert, In Search of Sea Dragons follows Matthew's adventures at lesser-known sites in South Wales, Somerset and North Yorkshire, where he makes jaw-dropping 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 love letter to the Jurassic oceans. As his months-long search for the missing half of the ichthyosaur draws to a close, Matthew considers what's more rewarding? The discovery or the things you find along the way.
