near Felixstowe, Suffolk
A classic fossil from the Red Crag of Suffolk. It is derived from Miocene deposits and was rounded by natural abrasion on the sea floor millions of years ago before it was buried by the Red Crag sand. The remarkable surface ‘gloss’ is entirely natural and has no adequate scientific explanation.

This specimen is about 4 inches in size and is typical of the fossil teeth found in the Red Crag ‘coprolite’ pits of Suffolk in the 19th century.
It is presented in a vintage glass museum display box with a glass lid.
