Around 200-250 million years ago, when the Bristol area was roamed by Triassic dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes, a small dinosaur was washed by floodwaters into a limestone cave. Its remains survived undisturbed for millennia, until they were discovered in Durdham Down, just north of Clifton, by quarry workers digging the limestone. The bones were first thought to be a type of lizard or crocodile, but were identified by geologists Samuel Stutchbury an Henry Riley in 1836 as an entirely new species of dinosaur, Thecodontosaurus - only the fourth dinosaur species to have been named from anywhere in the world, and one of the first plant eating dinosaurs in geological time. This family activity is being run in conjunction with the Bristol Dinosaur Project. Four sessions are available: 9:30am-10:30am, (11:00am-12:00noon - SOLD OUT), 1:00pm-2:00pm and 2:30pm-3:30pm.
