Skull Replica, Piltdown Man

Proudly Made in the UK. 

A life size model, moulded in robust plastic for the Natural History Museum from their own reconstruction. The original reconstruction was produced by Sir Arthur Keith in 1913 and named Eoanthropus dawsoni. Pieces of human skull and apelike mandible were discovered in Sussex by Charles Dawson in 1910. However, in 1953, scientists from The Natural History Museum and Oxford University showed that the remains were all recent forgeries, not fossils. Supplied with leaflet giving background notes.
