I picked up this pair of flattened cones from the wealden clay at Chilton Chine, Isle of Wight, uk last weekend. I couln’t find a similar hexagonal pattern from photos online or in the books I have on the area. Given the size and shape (roughly 3cm), I was wondering if they may be araucarian? The area is barremian. It’s also in very soft clay, so I’m currently trying to dry it slowly wrapped in damp tissue before adding paraloid with acetone to stabilise it. If a better method is advisable, I would really appreciate any advise. Thanks in advance henry

Hi there, My name is Steve, and I live on the Isle of Wight, UK. I'm fortunate enough to live a few miles away from Compton, Brook, Atherfield and Chale beaches, so have no excuses not to get out there. I'm new to fossil hunting but have location and enthusiasm on my side! Regards, Steve.
