A “treasure trove” of fossils – including some collected by Charles Darwin during his voyage aboard the Beagle to the Galapagos Islands in 1834 – has been rediscovered in an old cabinet.


Dr John Ludden, executive director of the Geological Survey said: “This is quite a remarkable discovery. It really makes one wonder what else might be hiding in our collections.”
