Going for a walk, 5-year-old baby found what the scientific world desires

Recently, Helena Ashby, a 5-year-old girl in Dorset, England, while walking and playing on Jurassic Beach, Charmouth suddenly found a precious fossil dating back to 190 million years, causing a stir.

At first, when she noticed strange scales protruding from the small stone, she took it to her mother to consider. However, her mother said that it was just a normal pebble stone.

This is the perfect fossil of a finfish of Pholidophorus.

Even so, Helena's mother still let her take the stone and lead her daughter to meet Alex Moore, a local fossil expert.

Shortly thereafter, when using professional techniques, the expert was delighted to find that inside this seemingly trivial stone is the perfect fossil of a finfish Pholidophorus , the ray fin fish extinct long ago. According to the initial assessment, this fossil dates back to 190 million years.

Alex also said that finding a perfect fossil like this is extremely rare because dead fish tend to sink to the bottom of the sea and their bodies will decompose quickly.

Talking about this unforgettable experience, little Helena said proudly: "I will take it to school and show it to the teacher. I have to let the whole school admire it!".

It is known that this fossil will be displayed in a museum.
