Megalosaurus Jaw 
This is the iconic fossilised jaw found in Stonesfield, Oxfordshire that William Buckland used to describe the first ever dinosaur known to science, Megalosaurus. 

Cave Hyaena Jaw 
This is one of the specimens found in Kirkdale cave, North Yorkshire. Initially William Buckland thought the fossil specimens showed evidence of the Great Flood, but through careful analysis he realised the evidence showed the cave to be a hyaena den at a time when Yorkshire would have been a lot warmer, the Late Pleistocene.
