    Bracklesham 10/2/2024

    Quick trip report from a rather unsuccessful trip to bracklesham bay. On the lowest tide of the year I was hoping the formation would be exposed but over a metre of sand lay on top of it still. I think some onshore winds had been conspiring against me! However it was fun to hunt and I was rewarded with a beautiful sunset! 1. spot the fossil 2. sunsets 3. total finds 4. brachycarcharias lerichei 5. striatolamia macrota

    Possible coral

    Hi All Found an interesting fossil in bracklesham bay in the UK, Sussex. We were looking for shark teeth but found this instead. I thought it may be coral or an urchin. I would also like to ask if its worth splitting it open with my hammer and chisel? Apologies i don't have a ruler. Included a pen for scale. Many thanks
  3. Hello all, this is my first post, and is an ID task. I found this on Braklesham beach, which has a few offshore Eocene clay deposits rich in shark teeth and Ray pallets, as well as turtle carapace. I'm not sure what this is, but it is very similar in size (1.5cm) and shape to squid beaks I have dissected in biology, and was wondering if it might be the beak of a cephalopod. I'm sorry for the poor photos, I'll try get some better ones with my camera. All the best, Tsav.

    Bracklesham bay 19/2/23

    Made a quick trip down to bracklesham bay last weekend, with a very low tide I was hoping the beds would be exposed but no such luck! it wasn’t great on the sharks teeth finds but a very rare fish tooth and bit of turtle shell made up for that (and the views were spectacular as usual)

    Fossil bone from Selsey formation

    Found this in the selsey formation of lachmoor brook in the new forests, It looks like some kind of bone however is made out of a granular type material. I have had a few opinions however the general consensus is that it is not turtle. Anyone on here have any ideas?

    Isle of Wight 2022

    Hi guys, managed to get my annual trip to the Isle of Wight in this august. I had a great time and found some amazing fossils. I will write each report in this thread when I have time. The first trip wasn’t actually on the Isle of Wight but bracklesham bay, and the day started at 5:30 so I could get there for the low tide. For a summer trip this was actually amazingly successful so hope you enjoy Lovely view as usual! Here are some not so hard spot your own fossils. big Venericor All the finds. And now for some closeups: Striatolamia macrota, the top left one is interesting as it was found far down the beach where the wittering formation which doesn’t normally produce teeth is . Brachycarcharias lerichei Anomotodon novus turtle shell Shark Denticles? Does anyone have any ideas? All the Ray plates and a rare section of associated Myliobatis. My first partial croc tooth. Physogaleus secundus We went for a nice walk along the coast to west wittering where I found this fossil fish scale. Until next time.

    Bracklesham Bay Mystery ?Seed/Fruit

    Hello Everyone, I went to Bracklesham Bay for the first time yesterday and despite the sand found several ray plates, shark teeth and gastropods but this find stood out. I'm not sure what it is but I'm hoping it might be a seed or fruit. I know that Nipa fruit are occasionally found there. Each box is 5mm. Hopefully someone can let me know what it is. Thank you, Benton

  10. Hi guys hope everyone’s having a great Easter, if you celebrate it. A few days ago I got to go fossil hunting for the first time in monthswhile it wasn’t the most productive as the beds were covered by sand and not much erosion had taken place but I found enough in some micro matrix I bought home to warrant a trip report The geology of bracklesham bay To the left, the yellow is wittering fm. Some fossils can be found here but not many. The best area to hunt is the green earnley fm. Which produces the most abundant fossils, here is a photo of it when exposed the fossils to clay ratio averages out at about 3:1 in some beds! on this hunt, the area I focused on was the E5 palate bed, but I found a lot from the turitella bed and the nummulites bed to the right, is the marsh farm fm, this is good for finding fossil corals, such as this anyway, a good source of info is this great video on YouTube, where I got a lot of this info from for identification of fossils, I like to use this website http://dmap.co.uk/fossils/bracklesham/vert/brackvert.htm There are some great specimens to check out on there, but not all species at bracklesham bay are listed there we set out at 3 in the afternoon to be at the beach 2 hours before the 6:30 low tide, at bracklesham the best hunt is on the falling tide. It was a glorious day, not a cloud in the sky, when we got there, we even went in the sea! Not for long though, as we all would get frostbite. Soon the hunt began. here are some pics of the site and me not much was found in the first hour and a half, only a few small ray bars, the most common vertebrate find here, and this luck would sadly continue, it was a very poor day for hunting sadly, I was the only one on the beach that day out of 4 others that came out with anything other than shells, sad considering on a good day you can walk out with 50-100 vertebrate bits, at bracklesham you are at the mercy of nature I guess After an hour of little luck, I found something that made my day, a very rare bone, anything other than sharks and ray is very hard to come across here, in my time collecting here; I’ve seen 3 people walk off with an auriculatis but only 1 other with a complete bone like this, so I’m super happy it has been identified as trionyx marginatus. after half an hour more of not finding anything, I went to collecting matrix as I wasn’t finding much. I have run out of time to post now so I will put the rest of my finds up later today

    Lutetian Phalange

    Hi guys, found this in the lutetian earnley formation of Bracklesham bay today and i was wondering if anyone could help me identify it, as bones like this are rare and i havent had any experience identifying them. I find turtle phalange the most likely but crocodilian or even mammalian is a possibility thanks for your help I must add, sorry for the awful photography, my lamp is broken so i needed to use flash
  12. Hi guys i haven’t really seen a topic where people shared associated dentitions, if they have that would be cool to know this can be any sort of animal and any amount of association ( ie im not talking about a whole shark)! Here is my first contribution have fun!

    Modern cuttlefish jaw?

    Hi guys, found this a while ago, I assume it is modern as it seems to be too soft to be mineralised but thought it was pretty cool anyway, found in bracklesham bay, it’s definitely some sort of cephalopod jaw so cuttlefish may be the only option

    Lutetian tooth

    Hi guys found this earlier today and it isn’t the usual striatolamia or other sand tiger teeth, it reminds me of physolageus segundus or maybe abdounia beaugei from the ypresian London clay , however I’m not sure if those species were around in the lutetian, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks also sorry for lack of scale I’m away from home and don’t have a ruler it’s about 3/4cm slang height

    Is this part of a squid beak?

    I found this yesterday on Bracklesham Bay beach and I think it could be the end of a squid beak. Can anyone confirm whether my guess is correct? Thanks Chris
