The
images of this tooth were kindly supplied to me by Rick Johnson. I understand
that C. appendiculata was long thought to have become extinct at the
end of or during the Cretaceous period. However the discovery of this
tooth on Sheppey proves that the species survived long into Tertiary
times. If anyone out there has found specimens of this species in Caenozoic
strata please let me know.
