Hi, stumbled on this with the kids. We are all curious as to what it could have been, of anything at all. Really know nothing at all and probably sound silly, but best guess is ammonites? Or is it something completely different, if ever organic? Thanks in advance James

Hi we found this in the beach in Staithes. We thought it looked a bit like a clam, can anyone confirm this for us? Thanks. E.

I was on a trip to yorkshire coast, picked this up at runswick bay in amongst the boulders. Apparently it's one of the best areas for bones. It looks like a bone to me, i want it to be a bone! Is it a bone?

The phragmocone is partly in a nodule, the rostrum protruding from it - quite rare in these beds. It has the remains of an epirostrum.

Calcite mold with a bit of shell in a concretion.

Can someone help me identify this fossil, it looks like a plate or some sort of tooth

The shell is pyritized and the septa of the phragmocone are filled with calcite. More or less complete specimen.

Any ID help or confirmation greatly appreciated. 1 mile north of Robin Hoods Bay.

Possible vertebrae in rock help please found near Hawkser, Whitby.

Hello all. Another find from my recent trip which remained in situ. I am still searching for my first bone find or confirmed sea reptile I.D. So here goes. I am hoping this is a vertebrae from an ichthyosaur... Fingers crossed.

I found this between Hawkser and Robin Hoods Bay near Stainsacre. Any ideas or help with identification please. I also found some nice therapod prints which I will load later. Could this be sea reptile or is it a bamboo like wood. I really hope this is bone as I managed to get cut off by the tide and having descended the steps at 10.15 am last Tuesday I got back up them at 13.13 the following day. 26 hours wet and hungry with no phone signal and no takers on my morse code SOS torch signals. Wife was not impressed.

Belemnites are also a common fossil found in the slate. They are also fragile as you can see the top one broke back when I knew little about extracting fossils.© Lolman1c

Ammonite outside of Matrix. As you can see these things are very fragile and this one was already broken when I removed it from the slate. (Someone had obviously tried before me and broke it then moved on without recovering it.)© Lolman1c

Found from the noodles cast down from the cliffs. Please note the cliffs are dangerous so just pick up the fossils washed up on the beach.© Lolman1c

Due to the delicacy of the ammonites found in the slate I like to keep them in-bedded in their natural matrix.© Lolman1c

Here's a specimen I found last August on the Yorkshire Coast, near Whitby (UK) and have recently got prepared. I didn't prepare it myself, but sent it off and have just got it back. What do you think? The specimen is a Zugodactylites braunianus, and it is from the Upper Lias of North Yorkshire. It's about 185 MYA.

Hello everyone, I'm a long term hunter from the North East of England. I started in my teens and I'm now 36. Plenty of video and photos to come. -
After a very long period of debilitating illness, about a month ago I decided it's time I took my mind back to what I used to enjoy, and from my early teens I always had an interest in fossils and the beach. Around 2 weeks ago I headed to Whitby to see what I could find, I wasn't expecting very much as the tide (it was supposed to be heading out, but the sea was very rough so it appeared full high tide) was in. However, on this day I found two of the best specimens I've ever come across, 2 beautiful ammonites that I managed to extract myself. I was very surprised, as I'd never made such good discoveries in the entire time I've been a collector, and on the worse day to expect it too. Enjoy the photos.

I found this in the straits of Whitby flats, it could be bone or wood but unsure.

I've just come back from a trip to Yorkshire where I managed to do a little fossil hunting and was lucky enough to find this ammonite. The problem is though is that generally the preservation in the area wasn't great and this one is clearly covered in a mudstone/ shale type of rock. However I think it might be worth trying to remove the surrounding rock because the small bit which I can see seems to have preserved fairly well. However I don't know the best way to remove it, see i'm not very comfortable with chiseling it away because I'm fairly new to this so would probably end up ruining it! I've been told that it may work if I was to put it into the oven to warm it up and then put it into cold water which could 'shock' the fossil to break along lines of weakness but I'm not sure if it would work or not. I've tried to post a picture of the fossil here but I'm not sure if its worked so if not here's a link: http://s1069.photobucket.com/user/zozzy-zebra/media/IMG_0003_zps69eb4cbf.jpg.html Any suggestions of how I can remove my ammonite would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
