PhD student Amelia Penny spotted a sharp-toothed fossilized jaw of a 170-million-year-old Jurassic pterosaur in a layer of ancient limestone on Skye's coast.

Researchers from the Hunterian Museum, in Glasgow, and the Staffin Museum, on Skye, had to extract the rock slab entombing the fossil - a painstaking process and noisy process racing the incoming tide - and bring it to the University of Edinburgh.

"Pterosaur fossils as complete as this are very rare.
