The Tooting Common Fossil Tree

The stump of a fossilised conifer on Tooting Common. 145 million years old, originally part of the Purbeck Fossil Forest near Lulworth Cove, Dorset. Quarried out and presented to the Balham & District Antiquarian and Natural History Society by local developer Alfred Heaver, it has stood beside the lake on Tooting Bec Common since 1898.

Three mannequin heads with realistic facial features and a damaged, incomplete mannequin torso with open cavities, all placed on a gray cabinet in an office setting.
