Ipswich Museum celebrates the designation of its post-Cretaceous geology collection by the Arts Council as of national importance.
Geologists and museum people gathered at Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich yesterday for a convivial evening of celebration. Pictured are Dr Simon Jackson, Ipswich Museum Geologist, and Bob Markham of GeoSuffolk - ties were in order! Also starring were a woolly rhino skull from Weybread, a woolly mammoth tooth from Barham (held by Simon) and, in the case, a Romanian mammoth tooth from Falkenham in Suffolk.
