I recently found this large vertebra lying in the silt at the edge of a recently excavated lake near Cambridge, UK. I thought it might be from an ichthyosaur, but am unsure because I am very new to this, and it seems far larger than others I have seen at 11cm/4.5inch diameter. Could anyone tell me for sure what this is? Many thanks P.S. the images are too large so I will upload in different posts

Hi everyone, Attached are pictures of three small fragments of belemnites I found three days ago in Yaxley, Cambridgeshire, UK. In the first picture, two of the belemnites are what I usually find in the lake but one of them looks significantly different. It looks like it is coated in thick white stuff (which I cant identify) which almost makes me believe this may not even be a belemnite fossil. Can anybody tell me what this is please? Is this even belemnite? Thanks, Bong

Hi everyone, This is just another piece of something that I cannot identify, found at Yaxley, Cambridgeshire, UK, three days ago. My first guess is a cropolite fossil but I'm more convinced that this is just a piece of random rock. Yaxely Lake is very rich in Jurassic fossils buried in the Oxford Clay found there. I managed to find a lot of belemnites and ammonites but this isn't one of them. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bong

Hi everyone, Two days ago, I went to Yaxley lake in Cambridgeshire (UK) and I found a handful of ammonites and belemnites. However, buried in the Oxford Clay with those ammonites and belemnites, I found this odd looking pebble which I was not able to identify (I am only able to tell obvious ones like ammonites, belemnites, bivalve, gastropod etc...). Before I decide to throw this away, I just wanted to ask you all whether this is something worth keeping for or just another random pebble. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I can upload more pictures if you need s

This coprolite is from a marine creature that swam in the Jurassic seas that once covered this parts of England. The dark inclusions that can be seen on the surface are Onychites (cephalopod hooks). In April 2016, the University of Minnesota X-ray Computed Tomography Lab scanned the specimen using a X5000 high resolution microCT system with a twin head 225 kV x-ray source and a Dexela area detector (3073 x 3889 pixels). Many of the images shown here are of individual 3D elements/features within the coprolite that were separated/isolated using Blob3D. The taxonomic classification gi
