UK boy uncovers 1.8-million-year-old elephant tooth on Suffolk coast

An 11-year-old boy in Suffolk, England, Charlie Orchard-Lisle, found a four-inch, 1.8-million-year-old upper left molar from the extinct Anancus avernensis on East Lane beach at Bawdsey. Paleontologists say erosion likely freed the tooth from the Red Crag cliffs, and the enamel is well-preserved after hundreds of thousands of years. The discovery coincided with the boy’s love of elephants, making it a striking, wild coincidence and a notable paleontological find.

"Son Praises Heroic Suffolk Father's Hunt for Daughter's Killer"

The son of John Ward, a father who spent decades and £2m trying to find out who killed his daughter in Kenya, has called him a hero. Julie Ward, a wildlife photographer, was found murdered on Maasai Mara reserve in 1988, and no one has ever been convicted of her murder. John Ward died earlier this month at the age of 89. His son said the family had come to terms with the fact that justice had not been achieved, but praised his father's determination and investigative skills.
