Scientists from UK made a surprising discovery.
In England during the excavations archaeologists found the tooth of a mammoth giant size.
Presumably, it can reach the age of 3 million years.
On the coast of Essex in England during the excavation of Wendy and John Booth have found the oldest fossil. The opinions of experts about the age of the find differ. According to some, the remains of more than three million years. Other scientists believe that the tooth was in the ground not more than 50 000 years.
Professor Adrian Lister believes that it is an upper molar of a mammoth, which was agreed to and Professor of paleontology and Mike Benton. Also, scientists have substantiated the age of the remains, due to the fact that Red Rock has started to be formed 3 million years ago, the age of the finds can not be more. On the beach NAS, where he discovered a mammoth’s tooth, is famous for its ancient fossils.
On the territory of the coast often find fossils, which are distinguished by their large size, but the tooth of the mammoth found there for the first time. Steven Walker, an employee of the tourist centre NAS told that people regularly find fossils on the beach, found and on the rocks, if it were possible.
