Hyenas William found hyena bones, including these jaws, in Kirkdale Cave in Yorkshire. Mary drew them for an article he wrote about them.

Mammoths William used this picture in his lectures to show people how big some extinct mammoths had been.

Red Lady of Paviland William found a person's skeleton in Goat's Hole Cave, Paviland, Wales. William thought it was a woman, but it was later discovered to be a man. A mammoth skull was nearby.
