Fossil Daddy-Long-Legs or Harvester. Jurassic 100 million yrs. I found this on Lyme Regis beach Oct 2008. It was just an ordinary pebble I found - nothing on it - until I dissolved the chalk away from it's surface - by immersing it in Viacal solution - and the insect made it's appearance. Sheer luck!

The one on the left cost me $100 and the one on the right the owners wanted $9000.00. Needless to say I didn't buy it
