❗ There's an increased risk from rockfalls as a result of the heatwave. Take care & stay away from cliff edges when visiting coastlines around the UK.

Pay attention to warning signs & avoid going directly under or on top of cliffs.

Exciting find.

[British Geological Survey @BritGeoSurvey]

Palaeontologists have found the fossil of the earliest known animal predator, throwing into question when complex animal life began on Earth.

BGS palaeontologist Dr Phil Wilby is one of the scientists who made the find.
