An amateur fossil hunter is celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime discovery after finding a huge mammoth tooth on a beach.
Chris Bien was visiting Holland-on-Sea, Essex, as part of her birthday celebrations when she took a walk on the beach with her husband Mark. She stopped to sit on a rock by the water’s edge when she looked down and saw a wavy line pattern in the gravel.
“I saw it poking out and thought it must be a tooth to have a pattern like that,” said the 56-year-old mother-of-one.
