Prehistoric tooth found in wall

A tooth belonging to a prehistoric shark has been donated to a Kent museum after it was found in a wall.



The palm-sized incisor belonging to a creature called a Megladon was discovered by Angela Foster after her garden wall in Maidstone collapsed.

Experts at Maidstone Museum believe the tooth could be 10 million years old, but they do not know how it could have ended up where it was found.

The Megladon, which died out two million years ago, was 15 to 20m long and capable of devouring a large whale.
