- Object name(s):
- fossil: mammal; EQUIDAE: Equus caballus: horse; horse
- Brief description:
- These fossilised horse teeth were collected from Kents Cavern. The presence of such fossils in Devonshire caves suggest that these horses were preyed on by hyenas. Caves offer natural sheltered dens which would attract prey animals for which hyenas and other predators would use as homes. This object is on display at RAMM in the Down to Earth gallery.
