TL;DR Summary

Fossil hunter Jack Wonfor discovered a 115-million-year-old epicheloniceras ammonite, weighing at least 24 stone, on the Isle of Wight. It took a week's worth of efforts to transport the enormous shelled creature back to his car. Wonfor, who has been fossil-hunting since childhood, considers it his best find and plans to donate it to the Dinosaur Isle Museum after removing the surrounding rock.
