Largest ever millipede fossil found on Northumberland Beach.

Scientists say they found the largest giant fossil in history on a beach in Northumberland - and did so by accident.

It is believed that the centipede, known as arthropleura, was more than 2.5 m long and weighed about 50 kg.

Some of the fossils were first noticed in 2018, when a large block of sandstone fell on the beach in Govik Bay.

Next year it will be exhibited at the Cambridge Sedgwick Museum.
