At just 10 years old, Tegan has uncovered a find that people spend their whole lives looking for Imagine walking along a beach when you find dinosaur footprints preserved in stone for 200 million years. That may seem like the plot of a children’s book, but for 10-year-old Tegan, it became her own ‘cool and exciting’ reality on the south Wales coast. She had travelled all the way from Pontardawe near Swansea to the Vale of Glamorgan with her mother Claire on the hunt for some fossils.
’ The expert of 40 years added: ‘If they were random holes, we’d be wary but because we have a left foot, a right foot and then a left and another right… there’s a consistent distance between them. ‘It’s quite a significant find – the buzz you get when someone contacts us with a definite dinosaur find, it’s amazing.’ That buzz is most acutely felt by Tegan, who’s been invigorated by the find.
