Groundbreaking Discovery of 135 Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Teeth in East Sussex

A groundbreaking paleontological discovery in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, has unveiled fossilized dinosaur teeth dating back 135 million years to the Early Cretaceous period. This significant find enhances our understanding of prehistoric ecosystems in Britain, revealing a diverse array of theropod species, including tyrannosaurs and spinosaurs.
