fossil_sea_urchin Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I just obtained a couple of UK mammal fossils. The first one is a 25cm Hippopotamus tusk from Cambridgeshire. The second is a mammoth cuboid also from Cambridgeshire. The Hippo tusk compares nicely with a decent sized T rex tooth replica. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
