        Brief description Fossil, rhino tooth (Stephanorhinus sp?); in situ find from the early Middle Pleistocene deposits, Cromer Forest-bed Formation (Runton Member, West Runton Freshwater Bed) of West Runton beach, in gravel at base of cliff; 15 strides east of the waterpipe at Goss' Gap, West Runton, Norfolk, UK

        Place & & West Runton & Norfolk & UK
            Site name West Runton beach
                Note4 in gravel at the base of the cliff; 15 strides east of the waterpipe at Goss' Gap; i.e. eastward of the main outcrop of the WRFB, This is beyond the 'bank' that marks the edge of the channel of the main outcrop. This eastern margin of th e channel has been migrating westwards 1980 - 2019 due to erosion of the cliff and the oblique direction of the palaeo-channel with respect to the cliff line. Perhaps this bed corresponds to stratigraphy mapped by West at around 345 m (or more) east of datum. Here bed i, a gravel of the Beestonian pre-WRFB succession, is the most likely candidate. However, it is quite likely that this tooth came from a deposit that was not noted by R.G. West at all and could be Cromerian.
