Whiteford-resident fossil was picked out of a recently-exposed peat slab on the
beach at Whiteford point. Cardiff Museum Palaeontology Dept. have identified it
as “the lower jaw back (or second) molar of a deer (possibly Red deer),
deposited between 3000-11000 yrs ago. These (peat) beds built up in the low
lying marshy ground behind coastal dunes… when … sea level was up to 25m lower
than today.”
Maybe not all change down there can
be attributed to sheep and quad bikes?'
