The pair, who have been collecting fossils since childhood, found it sticking up out of shingle “like a giant chicken bone” after a recent cliff fall on the south-west coast of the Isle of Wight, near Brighstone Bay.

Joe, 28, said: “It was like any normal day. We usually go down to the south coast beaches to find dinosaur fossils. We have been doing it since we were kids.

“It is honestly the find of a lifetime. It doesn’t get better than that.”
