A flint axe made by Neanderthal man was one of the finds taken along to a fossil show.

The Gatehouse Museum in Minster hosted the event on Friday.nov2
Kent County Council’s finds officer Jennifer Jackson was there and a fossil display was on show.

Local expert Fred Clouter, from Minster, took along the Paleolithic hand axe, which he found on the beach at Reculver.

The axe, which is around 250,000 years old, needed to be recorded by Jennifer as it was found in Kent.

Mr Clouter said: “It’s very rare and needed to be recorded.
“I didn’t know what it was at the time and got it identified.

“As it’s so old, it’s important that it is recorded as coming from Kent.”
