10 Of The Strangest, Most Amazing Things Ever Found In Caves

7. The Wolverine's Skull

Found in 1980; estimated value: $350–$400* When exploring Stump Cross Caverns in 1980, explorers discovered an interesting artifact: a wolverine skull (seen above). Though they may look out of place, these animals, like squirrels and otters now, previously frequented the Yorkshire Dales thousands of years ago. The Wolverine Skull @etsy/Pinterest Since the skull is said to have washed into the cave during the previous ice age, its presence was not chosen. A replica now graces the visitors center, acting as the "jewel in the crown" of the 300 million-year history of Stump Cross. This and other more recent discoveries deepen our knowledge of Yorkshire's rich past.
