Lily Wilder, four, spotted the 220million-year-old print fossilised in a rock while taking a seaside stroll with her family in January this year. Little Lily was looking for shells with dad Richard, 47, when she shouted: “Daddy, look at this.”Archaeologists hailed the find as the “best ever specimen” of dinosaur footprint and sought permission to extract it from the beach at Bendricks Bay near Barry on the Welsh coast. Experts from the museum, the British Institute for Geological Conservation and Natural Resources Wales teamed up to oversee the removal.
