Late last year I received some micro matrix from @Notidanodon that he collected from the Isle of Wright (UK) out of the Greensand Fm. near Yaverland. This material is Lower Cretaceous, Albian aged. I have picked through much of it and have some questions on what I have found. I am not well versed in the fauna from this area and some internet searching has led me to some suggestions, but I'm hoping Will or some of our more experienced collectors from this area such as @Welsh Wizard, @Yoda, @Bobby Rico, and any others that I cant think of off the top of my head, can set me straight.

Hi all, hoping someone can tell me what these bits might be. The kids found them digging around/in a Cretaceous limestone chalk and greensand. Took them out there for a fun day, no idea what we were going to look for or where. Hoping someone can identify any of it. Thanks in advance

A fair amount of Cretaceous, Gault clay, Greensand Wealden fossils. They're not my field so I have no idea what they are. All are UK specimens and from Kent or Sussex. There aren't any reliable labels! I'm looking for vertebrates in exchange

Hi all, After reading the "Geologists' guide to The Isle of Wight" I popped out to Compton Bay the other evening. Due to big spring tides I only had access to the Gault Clay and Upper Greensand area available at the far western end of the bay. As you can see from Compton Chine, it was windy enough to blow the water upwards : (youtube link) After a while I managed a few bits and pieces to start my collection. Every single one of the appeared exactly in the right section of the book. This made identification somewhat easier. The book is a bit of a '

Found on the shoreline in shanklin on the Isle of Wight, UK. Local fossil hunter told me that whilst dinosaur bones are rare, marine reptiles are more common because of the shoreline geology. Found in lower greensand (Cretaceous) deposits. Photograph is difficult to capture the unusual shape - I really have very little clue as to what it could be, I'd be amazed if any detailed identification was possible but would be nice to find out what it vaguely is, even if it's absolutely nothing! The shape definitely strikes me as some kind of joint that has maybe been fractured a long time ago and weath
