Hi all, I recently found this on a trip to the Jurassic Coast at Dorset and have been intrigued by this find, i'm not an expert on fossil identification and i would be grateful for all your potential ideas as to what this could be.

Hi all, I recently found this on a trip to the Jurassic Coast at Dorset and have been intrigued by this find, i'm not an expert on fossil identification and was wondering if there was anything significant about this fossil. it strikes me as being either fossilised wood or an infilled burrow of some kind, however the shine, shape and downward strikes are leaving me somewhat puzzled. i would be grateful for all your potential ideas as to what this could be.

Found 21st Aug 2017 on Kimmeridge beach Dorset UK so late jurassic era. The centre line is slightly raised, the edges clean cut.

A few weeks back I posted a report here about a nice little microconch that I got from my paleontologist friend in exchange for some prep work I'm doing for him. I recently recieved another parcel full of work and also some goodies for myself to be prepped. This time he included the macroconch to that little microconch for me. It took me a good 10 hours to get it prepped, since the matrix was pretty tough and there was also a lot of minerological and shell debris that could only be removed mainly with the air abrader at high pressure in an excruciatingly slow motion process, but now that it's done, I'm as pleased as punch, particularly since the shell is extremely well conserved on the one side and all of the spines came out intact. One can also see the end of the phragmocone clearly on the steinkern on the reverse side, which shows that this sample is almost completely full sized. It comes from the early Bajocian discites zone in the Beaminster area in Dorset, whereas the little one is from Sherborne and comes out of the next youngest laeviuscula zone, which shows that the species was around for a good few thousand years. And here's the pair together.

Hello please can I have people's opinions of if this is a bone or a rock. It was found on the Jurassic coast in the UK
-
Hi I found this on the beach in Dorset UK. The sediments are maritime Jurassic. I think it is a bone but I've no idea what from or even if it is a bone at all. It has the surface texture of bone and is hollow through as you can see. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jo

14.5cm. A somewhat corroded specimen of the phragmocone, but nevertheless, my one and only representative of this species. From the middle Jurassic Bajocian discites zone in Dorset, GB. -
As I've mentioned previously, I'm busying myself right now preparing some ammonites for a befriended paleontologist and also some which he has gifted me in exchange. I was working on one of my own yesterday and at the begining of the process I noticed a little something interesting stuck in the matrix, so I worked a small block out first of all with the stylus. Here's what I ended up with after prepping it. Some would call it a microconch, but my friend is convinced that it's a dwarf Sonninia (Euhoploceras) adicra/dominans. Nice spines

I think that I've mentioned in the past that I occasionally do some prep work for a British paleontologist in exchange for some of his raw finds for my own collection which I get to work on myself. Well, another parcel arrived yesterday full of things to do for him and also a few ammonites for myself. I was particularly pleased to see the one pictured below, so pleased that I just had to put my preparation work on my own Callovian finds on hold in order to get this one prepped right away. It's a complete Stephanoceras humpresianum from the type horizon in Dorset with the end peristome at the aperture.
