Hi All, Spent a few days down on the Devon/Dorset coast with family. Plan was to fish and fossil hunt over the period. Got to Lyme Regis nice and early on the Friday and still didn't beat the crowds. Found a few Pyrite Ammonites (of which the photos i will attach later) but nothing else of major significance. Went back on the Saturday and had a rummage around in the loose material on the beach slightly away from the crowds. Found a single Ichthyosaur vertebra under a large rock, then a small piece of paddle bone in a rock pool, and lastly and my favourite half a larger vertebra with other bones in matrix just laying out in the open!! To say i was happy is an understatement! It was very busy down there so i think i got very lucky to find these. Apologies there is no scale on them. Hopefully my hand will suffice! I am planning to get the larger find prepped to remove some of the matrix, if anyone can recommend someone in the UK who can do it that would be brilliant, please send me a message. Thanks for reading.

I think I probably mentioned previously that I sometimes do some commission work for someone in England who gives me raw material, mostly from Dorset, in exchange for the work. I just finished prepping this beauty and thought I'd show it off here Fissilobiceras fissilobatum (15cm. in diameter) from the laeviuscula zone, early Bajocian with a few appendages: At the mouth aperture, the inside view of the shell of a small ammonite, and on the right at the top, a small ammo which I've yet to identify, below it what appears to be a bit of the mouth aperture of another ammonite and below that again, a Chlamys sp. bivalve. On the back is also the inside of part of the shell of yet another ammonite.

This is very tiny stuff from Durlston Bay, on Dorsets Jurassic coast. I think that I have some teeth, but are they fish or reptile? Can anyone identify the larger plate at the top of the first picture? All contributions welcome.

Hello fellow fossil fans, This a very large piece from Durlston Bay, just past Peveril Point west of Swanage on Dorsets Jurassic coast. The location is better known for shell beds small fragments of reptile and fish particularly teeth. Sorry that I don't have a ruler on me for scale, the spoon is a tea spoon and the whole specimen is just over a foot across. Is it a footprint or have I manhandled a very heavy psudofossil a long way for nothing? All coments welcome, its not the greatest of pictures so if more is required let me know.

Can anyone help with a more specific id on these? The larger two are from Burton Bradstock and I assume the one on the left is a bivalve and the one on the right a sea urchin. The smaller piece in the middle is from Charmouth and another sea urchin. Both locations are jurassic and (obviously) marine.

I found this rock (or fossil?) on Studland beach in Dorset, UK. I understand that it may just be a rock but the area (the Jurassic coast) is known for it's prevalence of fossils. I thought it may be a tooth of some kind. Can you help with identification please? Many thanks.
