(1/2) An odd wee bit of rock I spotted up in Kilcar in County Donegal last year turns out to be part of a fossilized fin spine from a long extinct species of shark-like fish called "Oracanthus milleri".

Although previously recorded in County Armagh during the 1800s this small fossil is the first record of this species found in County Donegal.
