Amateur treasure hunter unearths incredible find in Australian Outback

An Australian fossil enthusiast has uncovered the 'most complete' skeleton of a gargantuan dinosaur-age sea creature ever found in the country. The almost entirely intact ichthyosaur skeleton was unearthed about 100km south of McKinlay, on Toolebuc Station in western Queensland, by local landowner and fossil enthusiast Cassandra Prince after she noticed a tiny bone poking above the dirt. Experts say the 90 per cent intact skeleton measuring 7.1metres in length is one of the most scientifically valuable marine fossils ever found.
