Animal, vegetable, or mineral? Help with finds from Charmouth, Dorset, UK
citronkitten posted a topic in Fossil ID
Greetings, I have 4 pieces from Charmouth on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset that I am having trouble identifying. They were found during a fossil hunt led by the Charmouth Heritage Coast Center when they brought us to a stretch of beach between the Centre and Black Ven to the west. We would have been looking through the Black Ven Mudstone 'Shales with Beef' portion on the foreshore, which is from the Jurassic (no surprise, given the name of the area) period. Here are my best guesses: A = rolled bone, B = crinoid stem or coral, C = multiple bivalves and ammonite impression in matrix, D (the unlabelled one) = wood As always, corrections/confirmations/clarifications are much appreciated, as is your time for reading my post! -

Picked it up initially because I thought it was a huge belemnite, but it definitely isn't. Not sure what it is, though! Man-made? Rock? Something else? -
Sorry, didn't know about this site until now. Been out fossil hunting at Runswick Bay, England. Lots of ammonites but also found this curious looking stone. Was 20cm tall, about 15cm wide and 8cm deep. The inside looked like bone marrow to me. Sorry, woukd have taken better photos if I'd known about the site. Maybe next time!

Hi. I'm a final year undergraduate student doing my dissertation on sharks. There are a few teeth I found which I feel I should be able to identify given some features preserved, and I don't want to just leave them as indet. They were found at Walton-on-the-Naze, UK, from the lowermost London Clay Formation, Eocene (Ypresian) in age. All photos show teeth in the best view that I could capture with me camera/have most of the specimen in focus. Scale bar on the right = 1cm. For all teeth they are in lingual (left), labial (middle) and mesial (right) views where applicable. Apologies for the lateral photos being so blurry, didnt get the chance to run them through focus stacking Thanks in adavance. Also, if people want to ask me any questions on the disso feel free to.

Hi, Is there anyone who could help an amateur identify this specimen that seems to have a row of side teeth and super strange front teeth? Limpet eater? Pharyngeal plate? Very light but feels like mineral rather than woody. Would appreciate any input.

Hi there! This was found by my son several years ago when he went for a wee in the bushes. Was in Battersea park (London) about 10 metres from the River Thames. Any thoughts as to what type of animal or era? Many thanks!
