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.
