Thomas Browne,
On fossil remains in Norfolk
“ The cliffe had been much broaken by high tides & the rage of the sea, many hundred loades falling downe as it often doth upon this coast, the cliffs being not rock butt earth. Upon the same coast, butt at some miles distance, divers great bones are sayd to have been found, & I have seen one side of a lower jawe containing very large teeth petrified, farre exceeding the teeth of the biggest ox. It was found after a great flood neere to the cliff, some thousand loades of earth being broaken downe by the rage of the sea. ”
