Child discovers ancient mammoth tusk

An 11-year-old British child discovered a fossilized tusk of an extinct elephant dating back approximately 1.8 million years on East Lane Beach in Suffolk County, eastern England. Paleontology experts confirmed that the tooth belongs to a creature known as Anancus Afr confe. nensis, a close relative of the extinct African elephant, and it has retained its enamel layer well despite the passing of time. It is believed that coastal erosion exposed the tooth from fossil-rich layers along the shoreline before it was carried to the beach by the waves.
