A Toddler Found a 300-Million-Year-Old Fossil in His Backyard
[]

An Ordinary Day Takes An Unexpected TurnIn the village of Crossford, two-year-old Fletcher Low had been out playing in the sun with his younger brother.
No fossil hunting kits, no expert tools — just some mud, a few toys, and the usual chaos of small children outdoors.
At some point, Fletcher picked up a stone that looked slightly different.
But not to his dad, David Low — a former geography teacher and lifelong fan of rocks (his words: “I like good looking rocks”).
It’s the kind of quiet story that sticks with you — no headline-grabbing expedition, no museum lab, just a toddler, a garden, and a fossil that waited 300 million years to be found by someone who knew what they were looking at.
