A pair of amateur fossil hunters have discovered one of the largest collections of rare marine fossils found anywhere in the U.K. The couple spotted a tiny quarry in Wiltshire while browsing Google Earth after researching the geology of the area online. Neville and Sally Hollingworth’s discovery of hundreds of samples dating back more than 150 million years has stunned experts. The specimens, dating from 174 to 164 million years ago and onwards, could spark new research that was never before possible due to the small number of samples held in collections
