Dogs a Diggin' Dinos!

Two dogs have discovered a dinosaur skeleton that is 65 million years old!

Poppy and Sam were being taken for a walk down a beach in Somerset, which is on the south coast of Britain, when they found a bone.

Their owner, Jon Gopsil, was shocked to discover the bone was part of a 1.65 metre-long fossil that had been unearthed after a week of rough seas.

The skeleton is believed to be from a prehistoric ichthyosaur. It was a porpoise-like sea mammal that lived during the Jurassic period.

A few days later Jon took his dogs for another walk and Poppy brought him a stone, which turned out to be a fossil too!
