DiscoveriesA Quarry worker could have discovered proof of prehistoric life close to the River Trent. Part of a skull was found at a working gravel pit off Pasture Lane, Long Eaton, yesterday afternoon by a worker from RMC Aggregates (Eastern). Initial tests date it back to the prehistoric age.After finding the skull, worried workers phoned the police and the site was closed, as officers began a search and investigation.
But the investigation took on more of a historical angle when tests indicated the skull was thousands of years old.
DS Rohan Catlow, based at Long Eaton, said: "We had experts come to the site and they believe it is a human skull from the prehistoric age, or maybe a primate, such as an ape."
The skull was taken to Long Eaton police station, where experts are due to examine it in more detail.
