A rare British Cave Hyaena premolar from Tornewton Cave, South Devon. British hyaena fossils are very rarely offered up for sale, and this one is in great condition with an intact root. About Tornewton Cave: Investigation at Tornewton Cave began again in 1944, initially on a very small scale, but continuing intermittently until the early 1960s. Finds have included a substantial Pleistocene fauna, one deposit reportedly yielding over 20,000 hyaena and more recent excavations uncovered a further 1300. |
