ALT I took this photograph of Richard Forrest after a long successful day collecting fossils in October 2023. In 2024 photographer Max Miechowski had put an advert asking if anyone knew of a passionate fossil collector of a particular age with a long white beard. I answered Max's advert putting them both in contact with each other.
