Recently took a 2 day trip up to Gingin which is around an hour drive north of Perth and a nice little town. Went with my dad and checked out some Chalk exposures at One Tree Hill and Molecap Hill. The weekend we went just so happened to be in the middle of a heatwave around Perth with temperatures reaching 40 degrees around midday so we had to do the hunting around dawn and dusk. We ended up finding some nice shells, sea urchin spines, cool little gastropods and had a great time. Chalk exposures on the southern wall of the quarry at molecap hill Tiny gastropod fossil (sounds better than worm fossil) in situ on the ground Finds from molecap hill: Inoceramid, unknown shell and some microfossils (gastropods, sea urchin spines and tiny shells) from surface collecting and sifting The only find from One Tree Hill was this nice little shell positive and negative my dad found cracking some (glauconitic?) nodules

Found this while splitting some chalk (80 myo) from Molecap Hill Quarry in Gingin. The whole section of “scales” is about 2 cm long. Not sure what these “scales” are but my imagination goes to fish scales. Any ideas?

Hi all, hoping someone can tell me what these bits might be. The kids found them digging around/in a Cretaceous limestone chalk and greensand. Took them out there for a fun day, no idea what we were going to look for or where. Hoping someone can identify any of it. Thanks in advance

My finds from my fossil hunt in the Cretaceous Molecap Greensand (83-86myo) of Gingin on Sunday. A great serrated shark tooth and a fragment of a Notorynchus shark tooth. Sadly I broke one of the three points off! Also a few other bits. Had a great time even tho it was hot and a big Western Brown Snake (highly venomous) settled about 6foot from me and watched the whole time. We chatted while I hunted.

Two teeth found on my last hunt in the Cretaceous Molecap Greensand and Gingin Chalk. The one on the left is a partial Gladioserratus sp shark tooth but I sadly broke one of the three tips off. The one on the right is the cusp of a Squalicorax sp. shark.-

The finds from my latest fossil hunt in Gingin, Western Australia. The layer is 83-86myo. I love the white tooth! Great serrations. The tooth next to it is a Notorynchus shark tooth fragment. However, I accidentally broke on of the three tips off!-

Hi guys, I was digging around in the Gingin Chalk a week ago, and I found this, as well as some echinoid spines, bivalves and crinoid fragments. What could this be? I thought maybe a jawbone, but I really don't know. An help would be amazing!! Thanks
