Hi there. My name’s Gavin Boyland. I was one of the Assistant Producers on Fossil Detectives.
The first ever fossil I remember was actually at my grandparents’ house. I used to visit quite a lot, as I was a young boy, and I always remember seeing this fossil in one of their cabinets, and I always asked my grandparents if I could have a look at it and play with it.
Years later, I was living in Madagascar. Madagascar is really famous for fossils you can get in all the markets, and I saw one in a market which looked identical. I couldn’t believe it was so similar. It was an echinoid or a sea urchin. I bought that fossil that day and now it lives on my mantelpiece and it's probably my favourite one.
