  1. My better half has just rediscovered some of her old fossils from years ago - as such, she does not know the provenance, though based on the matrix and preservation, I believe them to be Cotswoldian in origin - Jurassic, Inferior/Greater Oolite. These two in particular absolutely had us stumped - This is number one - I originally thought disarticulated crinoid, but the 'branching' pattern in picture 2 threw me off a lot, going to bryozoans and all sorts, bouncing around til' I decided, maybe, not a fossil? But then again, it displays the glow from calcite: And, secondly: The gap between the layers suggests to me that something dissolved - a shell? Any input appreciated! Isaac

    Never seen anything like it!

    'Never seen anything like it': Impeccably preserved Jurassic fish fossils found on UK farm (msn.com) https://www.livescience.com/jurassic-pompeii-echinoderm-fossils-cotswolds
  3. Hey all! Today I bring you some teeny tiny gastropods! All Inferior Oolite Group, Cotswolds UK. Every formation. There are a few different species that I have described here: Species A: "helter-skelter". A very very loose spiral, resembling a helter skelter... Species B: very neat loose spiraled. Species C: very tight spiral, very common Species D: fascinatingly bumpy textured spiral. Reminds me of a wallpaper! Measurements in cm. Isaac

    Micro-vert or crinoid ossicle: Jurassic finds

    I keep finding these peculiar ovaloid shaped fossils in the Cotswolds, Inferior Oolite Group, UK. It doesn't particularly matter which formation they are from, as I've found them in every single one so far! Here's one of them. They always have a side with a convex bump on it (pictured above), and a side with a concave dip, suggesting tessellation. And here's some microscope images:

    Crinoid(?) from the Cotswolds, UK.

    I was just milling about, splitting Cotswold stone, when this caught my eye. In my swimming seas of gastropods, echinoids, crinoids, brachiopods, and bivalves, I've never come across anything like this! If anyone could shed some light, I would be much obliged. Early Oxfordian in ages, found in the Ancholme group. Around it were these fragmented plates of molluscs. It looks like a crushed stem of perhaps a crinoid? If it requires better photos, I can crack out the old camera and take a few! Cheers, Isaac

    Tiny tooth from the Cotswolds, UK

    Hi all! Most of you will know me as an invertebrate person, but, recently, I found something that may change my view! I was splitting some Jurassic Cotswold limestone, and I found a tooth. A tiny tiny tooth, which I believe to be a shark(?). In other chunks of the matrix, I found scales, and other hints to vertebrate life. It heavily fluoresces under UV light, and has these gorgeous lines along the flat crown. To the bottom right of the tooth, there is a partial mold of a brachiopod, which is pretty cool! Ancholme Group, Callovian - Oxfordian (166.1 - 157.3 mya). As a sister question to the ID, I would like to know if I should dissolve the rest of the matrix I found it in, to find more teeth from the same creature? If anyone could help with either question, I would be much obliged! Thanks all!

    Jurassic Brachiopod

    Heya! These are a couple of brachiopods I have found in the Cotswolds, UK. They are from the Middle Jurassic, and were found encased in oolitic limestone. They are a triangular shape, and, on the first picture, you can see remnants of a hinge. The third picture shows two of these valves. I haven't done any prep on them yet, as I am unaware of their exact shape, and do not want to risk damage to the actual fossil, so there is visible amounts of matrix. If anyone could put me on the right tracks of identification, or perhaps give me a rough ID, I would be very grateful!

    Jurassic stellate structure

    First post on TFF, hello all! I can't lie though, I've been sneakily perusing this forum for a good year now, learning from other's posts! Anyways... This is a tiny stellate structure found on Jurassic limestone from the Cotswolds, England. Upon first glance, I somewhat childishly assumed it to be asteroidea, but, based on other specimen I've gathered in this area, and the details on it, I'm leaning more towards a Pentacrinite columnal. However, based on the thinness of the structure, its taxophonomy, and the fact that it alone, I'm still unsure. There's also a plethora of other specimen on this bed - for example, to the right of the structure, there's a small Pectinida! Undoubtedly, this was once the seafloor! Please, submit your ideas!

    Found this today and I’ve never seen anything like it. The tip was poking out of a lump of Cotswolds stone. 2 cm long, 1cm wide, 4 mm thick.
