Not a bad #fossil hoard from our walk from #Cromer to West Runton, North #Norfolk yesterday. Some belemnites (𝘤. 80 million years old) and a small piece of wood and partial red deer antler beam from the Cromer Forest-bed Formation (𝘤. 500,000 to a million years old).

#inktober2023 11) Wander. The astonishing Happisburgh footprints . Made c900,000 years ago by a group of adults & (wonderfully) children walking along mudflats on what is now Norfolk. These ephemeral traces of humans are the earliest footprints outside Africa. Mind blowing.

It's a bit strange standing next to my own drawings of #mammoths blown-up to full scale (perhaps I should have signed them?)!
They're at #Sheringham, on #Norfolk's #DeepHistoryCoast.🦣

Once you've found it, we would love to see where else the mammoth pops up! So please do share your photos with us.
