6-yr-old Indian-origin boy finds millions of years old fossil in UK garden

A six-year-old Indian-origin boy says he is “really excited” after he found a fossil from millions of years ago while digging in his garden in the West Midlands region of England.

"I was just digging for worms and things like pottery and bricks and I just came across this rock which looked a bit like a horn, but it was actually a piece of coral which is called horn coral," the schoolboy said.
