Can somebody help me identify? Got this from a friend. Probably found in France. Think it's a nice piece but I want to know if this is petrified wood and is the outer layer pyritised? Thnx.

Hi, I am new to the forum and glad to be amongst fellow enthusiasts. I recently made a rather wet and windy visit to Warden Point (Kent, UK). Amongst the usual pyritised shells, seed pods and wood on the foreshore I found 4 items that totally escape me and I would be grateful if any of you could provide any pointers. The first appeared to be a tooth but on closer examination seems to be either a conical piece of coral or a shell? The second seems to be a small section or articulation but I’ve no idea if this would be plant or animal? The third look like a section of bone with an appearance of flesh like indentations. On the final piece my mind was totally confused. Whilst I know pyritises can take on odd shapes but I started to convince myself that this was a small skull (2 eye orbits and a nose section) highly unlikely but worth asking the question. Many thanks for any help you can offer. Whatever the outcome I had a fine day and even bumped into the remains of a WWII sound mirror – an acoustic forerunner of radar, lying on the shore with an actual concrete radar station that had slipped down the cliff face intact, amazing. Best regards Keith

So i had to order a new Splitting Chisel after losing mine on Runswick bay in Yorkshire. Anyway I tried opening this Ammonite that i found in Mappleton with a hammer, but it was very tough. I finally opened it today. First picture is how i found it showing the tough matrix.

Hello! A year ago I collected some really nice pyritised ammonite fossils from Lyme Regis (UK), washed them when I got home and put them in a tin to try and keep them from oxidising. I've just opened it and some of them are growing some rather weird clear fibers and I cannot find any information about what on earth it might be and what I can do about it (if anything). It looks like a weird sort of thin plastic thread mould but they're definitely coming out of the fossils. I've attached a couple of pictures to illustrate. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks! Astrid
