Dinosaur Bone Found on the Isle of Eigg

Here's some local palaeontology news from my neck of the woods.  A palaeontologist out for a jog chanced upon a dinosaur fossil, proving that even during a pandemic your work will find you!  The fossil was found on the Isle of Eigg (pronounced 'Egg'), a small island in the Inner Hebrides, south of Skye.  It may not seem like much, but this find is significant as it represents the first Scottish dinosaur material found outside Skye.

Here's the short STV news report:

I'll try to update this post with any more in-depth material I find.

I thought this was an exciting find. The more we have from the Middle Jurassic the better.
