7 
Red Crag of Suffolk, England. Huge bones, which represent 
ribs, vertebrae and parts of the limb-bones of great whales, 
are found from time to time in the Grange Burn and Beaumaris 
sandy marls. One of these ribs, found at Beaumaris, measures 
64 inches in length. Other remains of whales (teeth and 
tympanic or ear-bones) are found in Table-cases 7 and 18. 
Amongst the teeth are those of Scaldicetus, formerly known 
only from the Antwerp Crag of Belgium, but here represented 
by species from Muddy Creek (Oligocene) and Beaumaris 
(Lower Pliocene) — Table-cases 18 and 7. Another Sperm 
Whale is Metasqualodon, a widely distributed Australian 
species in the Tertiary marls and limestones of Miocene age 
(Table-case 18). For foreign examples of toothed Whales see 
the casts in the Foreign Fossil Gallery (Wall-case, Vertebrates), 
of Zeuglodon from Malta and Prozeuglodon from Egypt.
