Hi. Could anyone identify this please. My wife and I were walking on our local beach on the Isle of Sheppey in North Kent and spotted this. Doing a wee bit of research, we are edging towards a Walrus Tusk. it is about 11 inches long, is flat on the inner curve, both ends look like marrow (shame the narrow end had snapped off at some point on its journey), weighs about 2 1/2 lbs Can anyone please help identify this?

Hey everyone, I'm very new to fossil hunting and collecting, but the collection is growing, and I'm really wanting to get out hunting a lot more. Iv'e looked around North wales and mostly found carboniferous fossils such as coral and also had a few trips to the east coast of England (mainly Whitby and Norfolk) but haven't had a lot of luck there yet except parts of ammonite and the odd belemnite. So anyway, my collection so far. My main interest in ice age animals, especially European and British. But also a keen interest in prehistoric marine life. Fossils so far: Steppe Bison (Bison Priscus) cranium Irish Elk (megalocerous giganteous) cranium Partial Irish Elk (megalocerous giganteous) Left Antler partial Juvenile cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) Jaw Partial Cave lion (Panthera Spelaea) Jaw Partial Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) Right side of Jaw with M2 Molar (and M3 Molar Erupting) Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) Hair sample Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) Fecal sample Woolly Rhino (Coelodonta antiquitatis) hair sample Fossiled Whale Rib bone that has been eaten by a Megalodon (Otodus Megalodon) Megalodon (Otodus Megalodon) Coprolite British Clactonian/Acheulean Bitface Flint Handaxe Lots of smaller pieces of ammonite, Belemnite, carboniferous corals and shells. But lets start off with my most recent purchase. Very happy with it! [removed seller name, as per forum rules] A Half Lower Jaw with M2 and M3 Molars of a Woolly Mammoth. Latin Name: Mammuthus primigenius Site: North Sea, ‘Doggerland’ area Age: Approximately 40.000 years old [removed seller verbiage as per forum rules]

Ancient DNA from Doggerland and the Storegga Tsunami Breakthrough in studying ancient DNA from Doggerland that separates the UK from Europe, University of Warwick, July 16, 2020 Link to article Scientists have studied sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) from sediment deposits in the southern North Sea, an area which has not previously been linked to a tsunami that occurred 8150 years ago.
