I found this interesting fossil the other day, and have struggled to find out what it is. It's from the Jurassic of Northamptonshire. Scale is centimetres. It's partially broken, so may have been completely spherical? Many thanks. Sorry the pictures are a little dark.

Hello, sorry to be a pain with all these IDs. I thought itd be easier if I just put all of them in one post. All were found in Northamptonshire, UK. Which is mostly Jurassic in age. Sorry there's no scale, I couldn't find my ruler anywhere. I'll have to upload more images below this. Its been quite some time since I've found ammonites. The land had just been rotavated, and aside from the ammonites, I found some Bivalves, and two golf balls buried. Thanks. These are the first two ammonites, I tried to ID them, but they are incomplete, so it was a difficulty, the closest I think it looks like is Harpoceras. Each are about two centimetres (about 0.8 inches). I saw a neighbour had a very similar rock with two larger ammonites on them that was being used to hold a fence down.

Hello, I thought I'd share some of these interesting rocks I've split. I noticed these sand-like grains in a rock I split, they are nice golden-white grains, it's nothing like the surrounding rocks. I was imagining it to be ancient sand from the sea floor, but that's very unlikely. This bit here is quite big, and came from a large rock, you can see the white grains right in the middle.

Interesting rock with scale-like internal erosion

The bivalve at the top was complete, unfortunately though, I accidentally broke it. -
Hello, I noticed this 'thing' embedded in rock, does anybody know what it could be? Found in Northamptonshire, UK. Thanks. Ahh, I just broke it accidentally when moving it. Here's a photo of the inside of it:

Hello, I found this very strange rock. It has what looks like a fossil impression? And this strange hole that has scale-like structures in it. Is anybody able to tell me anything about this? Sorry there's no scale, I couldn't find a ruler. It's about 10cm long. I found it in Northamptonshire, UK. Thanks.

Is anybody able to give me any information, such as age, of these fossils?

Hello, I found these, I'm guessing bivalves, and was just wondering if anybody could tell me a little about them? Sorry there's no scale, the larger one is about 2cm, and the smaller about half a centimetre. I found them in Northamptonshire, UK. Thanks. -
I found someone selling a few Bolivian trilobites in ironstone nodules and I really like this one (above). Most of the others have an oxide coating (example below) and this one does look very slightly yellowish. Will it (or other fossils in ironstone like those from Mazon Creek) be stable long term? I don't really want to buy it if it will just rust away.

Perhaps I have found something fossil or perhaps it's just eroded ironstone matrix looking like fossil.

Hi guys, A friend of mine from work has recently found a field in the small village of Bugbrooke which is currently littered with ammonites eroding out of the surface- as he knows I'm studying Palaeontology next year for my masters he has decided to give a few to me to both prep and also try and identify. After a little inspection I was thinking that the ammonites he has provided me is most Lilkly Dactylioceras and Hildoceras. This would make sense as the local geology is Jurassic mudstones often capped by ironstone on top. Of course this is conjecture and ammonites are not my specialty.
