A WORCESTER schoolboy has discovered a rare fossil from the time of dinosaurs.
The plant fossil, which was found on a rock, is part of a Lycopod plant, common during the Triassic period, and is estimated to be about 250 million years old.
The find is particularly rare as the fossil has come from the overlap of two time periods, the Permian and Triassic. Plant fossils are not usually found in Triassic rock – and even less usually in Worcester.
