It's been a year of new displays to come and see in the Centre and they've not stopped yet! This exceptionally preserved ichthyosaur found by Chris Moore has just been put on display. It's covered in fossil skin so detailed we can even see the shape of its paddles! #FossilFriday

You can tell it's December with a freezing cold start like today's. It does mean you get some pretty spectacular views as the sea mist rolls on the waves though so it's definitely worth coming down for!
