A Monster Tooth
On the East Coast erosion continues to slice off bits of England as it long has done, and near Cromer the bad . old process continues.. It is some compensation to the geologists, if not to the residents, that from the exposed surface rei mains of extinct elephants have j been dug, among them a tooth | weighing 251 b.. which is only one pound lower than the record. Also 'mentioned are relics of other extinct creatures of a warmer climate, and the “sabre-tothed tiger” is mentioned among them. This “tiger” was probably a lion.
