I found this fossil recently at Whitby. A nice marine reptile bone piece, it's either plesiosaur, croc or ichthyosaur. Initially I thought croc because of the bone colour and nice texture but i'm not sure. The rock was very hard but I'm pleased with how it prepped out. I may revisit it at a later date, but happy for now. Before Prep

Found these a few months apart on a beach in Suffolk of the UK. I am pretty confident, after a little research, that the first bone here is a partial clavicle, although I have much less confidence about what. I read that they only exist in animals with prehensile forelimbs, so it could be some kind of ape? No marsupial presence in the Doggerland that I've been able to find. And, probably not early human, right? (I'm sorry if that's a silly question. It always crosses my mind.) The second, while extremely worn, I think it may be an antler fragment because it has numerous exposed areas that look like cancellous bone, which I read is present in the core of antlers, while the areas right next to these exposed sections are intact. And the lowest part looks smooth and I could imagine it fitting against a deer skull of some kind. But it's my imagination that gets me into trouble with IDs, sometimes. As always, thanks to everyone who offers their advice, opinions, and general patience with my wild guessing!
