Emily Knight visits the north Norfolk coast, where the crumbling shoreline has given up some of the most impressive fossil remains ever discovered. The West Runton Mammoth is the most complete mammoth skeleton ever found, discovered after a storm in 1990. Emily learns the story of the mammoth's life and death from evolutionary biologist and elephant expert from the Natural History Museum Dr Tori Herridge, while local fossil-hunter Michelle Smith gives a lesson in safe and sustainable fossil-hunting
