- Brief description:
- This fossilised European Bison tooth was collected from Kents Cavern. The European bison was present in southern Britain and Europe during the last glacial phase of the Pleistocene known as the Ipswichian. It was hunted to extinction in the wild by the early twentieth century, but has been rebred from a small number of animals in zoos and returned to the wild in parts of central Europe. This object is on display at RAMM in the Down to Earth gallery.
