Content:
Two molar teeth, a tusk and a bone of woolly mammoth, and a humerus (leg bone) of a woolly rhinoceras of Upper Pleistocene age (?20,000 yrs old). These were found by the Greenham Sand and Gravel Company in quarrying operations at Kempton Park, before the present day racecourse was built.

There is also a large piece of septarian nodule enclosing a fragment of fossil wood from the local London Clay.
