A find like this must be enormously exciting. I have never been involved in anything even approaching this magnitude, but back in my fossil hunting days I made a few interesting discoveries, and these were always greeted with a degree of local fuss. My only truly original contribution was establishing almost 8 ft of Red Crag deposit where only 11 ins had previously been recorded. I can only guess at the feelings that must go with a discovery of international interest.

There never was nothing.
