Eye-popping fossil fish found in Gloucestershire

Remains of animals that lived in a prehistoric tropical sea have been discovered in a farmers field at Kings Stanley near Stroud.

The fossils are 183 million years old and are amazingly preserved with some showing details of their scales, fins and eyeballs.

Sally and Neville Hollingworth are the palaeontologists that made the discovery and they spoke to Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio Gloucestershire's Steve Kitchen.
