Abbey Wood, London, UK Early Ypresian, Blackheath Member Sunday April 14 2024 This time I certainly wasn’t on my own to dig – my husband, daughter (4F), my friend, her husband, and her son (4M) all came along! This meant less concentrated digging, but a lot of fun! The kids enjoyed digging for a bit, but mostly enjoyed washing the material in the sieve so I could collect and save the micromatrix to dry and go through at home. It was mostly me and my friend’s husband gathering material, but we got enough to take home to make the trip worthwhile. Despite digging less than 20 feet away from my previous spot, the finds I encountered were fairly different, perhaps due to the presence of tree roots that had prevented previous groups from digging there (it definitely made the going harder). On my first trip out by myself a month or so ago I found exclusively shark teeth and shells, but this time I also found 2 vertebrae and numerous guitar fish teeth. A lady with whom I was chatting during the digging session found a well-preserved shark vertebra, despite only dry-sieving the material. My take-aways from this trip would be to not bother with holes that are heavily infested with tree roots as it takes too long to break through them to scoop out the dirt. That was the main issue I encountered, as I had learned from last time to not bother starting to sieve the material until encountering fragments of shell, about 12-18 inches down. It is certainly possibly to find fossils dry-sieving, but wet-sieving on-site and then taking the micromatrix home to dry was a lot less time consuming and more productive, as well as more comfortable! We plan to go back again in a month’s time with another family whose son is really keen on finding shark teeth – I’m sure he won’t be disappointed! Summary of finds: Shells: - Bittersweet cockle Glycymeris plumstediensis - Marsh creeper Brotia melanoides X6 - Clamsucker Odostomia sp. X4 - Extinct clam probably Lentidium arnouldii - False limpet Sigapatella echinulata - Freshwater snail Melanopsis antidiluviana X7 - Marsh clam Corbicula cuneiformis var. forbesii X6 - Moon snail probably Euspira glaucinoides X4 - Nut clam Nucula gracilenta X2 - Marsh creeper Tympanotonus funatus - Whelk probably Eocantharus latus Sand shark teeth : Gluekmanotodus heinzelini X7 Striatolamia macrota X20 Sylvestrilamia teretidens X8 inconclusive X2 fragments X9 Other: vertebrae X2 (bony fish and shark?) Guitar fish Hypolophodon sylvestris teeth X6 unknown X3 I’ll post the photos of the 3 unknown items and 2 inconclusive shark teeth here in case anyone can help with identification, and the rest of the photos in an album. Hope you enjoyed the post!
