Dinosaurs in Stamford?

Remains of the world’s first pterosaur from the Middle Jurassic period uncovered at Grange Top quarry adjacent to Ketton’s cement works

Make no bones about it, hard work pays off. Take the Peterborough Geological and Paleontological Group (PGPG) for instance, who regularly visited Ketton’s Heidelberg-owned quarry to carry out fieldwork.
Their meticulous work has paid off recently with the discovery of remains from the world’s first pterosaur, which it’s believed dates back to the Middle Jurassic period.
The full wingspan of the fossil is tentatively estimated at between 3.5 to 4m and is around 170m years old. The fossil is now on display at Rutland County Museum in Oakham.
