West Wight People and Place: Palaeontologist Megan Jacobs
It’s all in the rocks.
Megan grew up in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. She always enjoyed collecting fossils and combing the Island’s beaches with her parents. Following her BSc and Masters in Palaeontology, her PhD will focus on looking into the rocks at Compton Bay, specifically the diversity of animals and what happened to their skeletons before and after burial.
