- Description
- The Fossil Detectives start their journey in central England - home to a number of extremely rare and globally significant fossil discoveries - and some of the world’s most advanced fossil science.
Dr Hermione Cockburn meets the monster from the past that inspired Charles Dickens - and investigates T-Rex, in his unlikely home of Oxford.
She also gets to see extraordinary evidence of the world’s smallest fossilised mystery body part.
Hermione also goes hunting for fossilised bugs in a housing estate in Dudley. And the Fossil Detectives reveal the hidden treasure - buried and forgotten - which could transform our understanding of ancient marine creatures.
