A YOUNG ADULT FEMALE STRAIGHT-TUSKED ELEPHANT SKELETON WAS DISCOVERED IN CLAY ON THE BANK OF THE WELLAND BY THE SPALDING AND DISTRICT GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. IT DATES FROM THE IPSWICHIAN INTERGLACIAL, C.120, 000 YEARS AGO. THE BONES ARE UNUSUALLY WIDELY SCATTERED, MANY ARE BROKEN IN SITU, AND THERE IS PLENTY OF EVIDENCE OF CHEWING BY SCAVENGERS, PROBABLY HYENAS. HYENA COPROLITES ARE EXPECTED. THERE ARE ALSO POTENTIALLY EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL REMAINS. {1}
