Description: | Fossil mammoth tooth, smaller of the two. This mammoth tooth, and one other, larger one, appear in a photograph in Miss Stow's notebook. The text accompanying the photograph states that they were 'originally found in the gravel at Sleaford and tell of teh time when the Mammoth, or extinct elephant, existed in England. These teeth were obtained by purchase at a sale of things from the old Grammar School,they had previously been presented to that school by Mr Hawkins.' This description matches DN records 297 and 298, which both state 'Mammoth tooth, gravel beds, Sleaford. 1923, from Grantham Scientific Society.' | Subjects: | Natural History Geology | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
