Peter Ta'Bois is a palaeontologist and natural history expert who has spent much of his life researching the history of Planet Earth through the study of fossils.  He has travelled extensively and visited many sites of dinosaur fossils and those of other ancient animals.

He is the owner of one of the largest collections of real and replica fossils in the United Kingdom and has exhibited and lectured in some of the most prestigous establishments around the country and further afield.

Peter is renowned in his field and has given many talks on palaeontology and prehistory and has also appeared internationally as an expert guest speak on television and in other media around the world due to his wealth of knowledge in these areas.

He has lectured for National Geographic and the Royal Horticultural Society as well as presenting at numerous museums and trusts including the Sedgewick Museum and Natural History Wildlife Trust.

Born in Kensington in 1958, Peter's life has been far from ordinary and it is because of this that his talks are so fascinating and popular with audiences of all kinds.

Having being abandoned by his mother as a young child, Peter's early years were spent in children's homes before being removed from foster parents and then finally adopted.  At Primary school he struggled with dyslexia and dyspraxia but still managed to gain O-Levels and obtaina job at a garden centre.  From here, Peter gained further qualifications in horticulture and arboriculuture which led to him starting his own business and the beginning of his passion for nature.

Later in life, his son made headlines with the discovery of a real fossilized dinosaur egg which kickstarted Peter's fascination with the prehistoric world and palaeontology.
