Emily Baldry found the pre-historic specimen at Cotswold Water Park in Gloucestershire, Daily Express reported Friday.
She was digging when her plastic spade struck something hard.

Her father Jon and palaeontologist Neville Hollingworth helped Emily dig it out and were left amazed to find a rare fossil. It was of a mollusc that lived in the oceans in the Jurassic period.

Palaeontologist Hollingworth said: "I have been looking for these for around 25 years and only found three."
