🇬🇧 A British Trio Shaped in Ceramic 🇬🇧
This week, we’re putting three favourites from the Karen Fawcett collection in the spotlight:
🦕 Hypsilophodon - a small, agile plant-eater known from fossils found on the Isle of Wight.
🐊 Baryonyx - the distinctive fish-eating predator whose type specimen was discovered in Surrey.
🐍 Snakestone ammonite - inspired by the Whitby legend of St Hilda and the snakes said to have been turned to stone.
Created in ceramic by Karen Fawcett, these characterful sculptures celebrate three very different parts of Britain’s prehistoric heritage.
Which member of the trio would you choose: Hypsilophodon, Baryonyx or the snakestone?
