Mandie Ratcliffe asked Tracy Chevalier:

Hi Tracy, so I have just devoured Remarkable Creatures in one sitting. I was fortunate to spend a few days in Lyme Regis and even went on a fossil hunt with Paddy Howe. I was so pleased to find my very own Belemnite. Anyway my question is, Will there ever be a movie? In a way I really hope not as the book is just too perfect to be tampered with. Oh and what fossils did you find? Lol. Already planning my next trip...

Tracy Chevalier Hi Mandie, apologies for the delay in replying.

I'm so glad you enjoyed Remarkable Creatures and that it inspired you to travel to Lyme Regis. Congratulations on your fossil find!

To answer your questions:

I'm on the verge of signing a movie deal for that book. But lots of deals do get signed, of course, so there are no guarantees a film will be imminent.
As for my own fossil finds: the largest ones were a shoulder bone and a pelvic vertebra of a plesiosaur.
