A gigantic flying reptile from the Jurassic period has been nicknamed “Abfab” after a fossilised bone was found in a gravel pit in Abingdon-on-Thames.
The wing bone, which would have belonged to one of the largest pterosaurs found from the Jurassic era, was discovered at the site in Oxfordshire after it was spotted by geologist Dr James Etienne in the quarry floor in June 2022.
