Could anyone help me identify this rock please. It was found on the Norfolk (UK) coastline.
-
My daughter found this on the trail that runs along the cliffs. When I turned it over, I was amazed to see these tiny fossils. Any information on what they are would be helpful. Thank you!

Found this today along a beach in Weybourne, UK. Appears to have the shape of a bone, but I am no expert. Any ideas? Thanks for the assistance

Not so much fossil news but fossils related. Quite interesting and I would love to see pond terrapin in the U.K. If the environment was ideal. https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/07/european-pond-turtle-could-return-to-british-rivers-and-lakes The Wretham specimens are held by the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge. @Tidgy's Dad

Hello, I found this fragment of bone earlier in the year from the West Runton Freshwater bed in Norfolk. The age is Cromerian, about 450,000 to 780,000 years old. Even though it's mostly a fragment, is it possible to identify the type of animal it came from? Thank you!

Hi all, Please could I get an ID on what looks like an egg or acorn to me? It was found last week just east of sheringham Norfolk on the beach while looking for sea glass. Any help greatly appreciated... Craig

Hi Firstly location, I live in South Norfolk. Recently, when rotovating my garden, the blades split a piece of flint and one half had the impression shown on the attached photo. It looks a little like a worm but that’s the guess of a novice. Can more enlightened forum members suggest what it could be. Regards Les Wilcock

Hi I am hoping for an ID of this specimen I found around chalk cliffs on the north Norfolk coast UK. There are several echinoids, belemnites etc but I’ve not seen anything quite like this. My first thought was an egg but I know they’re pretty rare so I’m not too convinced, especially without any notable markings. It does however have a brittle shell like coating so it has me stumped. It’s approx 11cm. im new to this group so if I’ve missed any details please let me know. Thanks

Hi, this one was found fallen off of the cliffs of Hunstanton, UK It looks to be some kind of fin? I could be wrong though The rock is 5cm long at its longest point and the fossil about 1.5cm shorter Hoping to hear back about it!

Found in amongst gravel in an arable field in Norfolk, UK. Possible fossilised tooth? Please can you help identify it? It’s about 3cm in length.

Hey y’all! I’m going to be in the VA beach/Norfolk area for a few days in mid Feb. Anyone have tips for hunting in the area? And/or does anyone know of any fossil hunting tours/guides that I could get in touch with? I’m clueless about the area, but I am willing to drive up to 2hrs for a fossil hunting day trip! I know it’ll be chilly, but I’ve got my waders and wool socks ready Thank you!

I wondered if anyone might be able to help with this oddity. It's about 4-5 cm long, and was found on the beach at Wells-Next-the-Sea in North Norfolk, UK. Exciting dinosaur brain? Mundane piece of flint? Put me out of my misery, please!

Hullo everyone. This was picked up on a beach in East Ruston, Norfolk, UK. The parent rock is flint, I think, as is most of the rock on that beach. The rock carries a textured feature in a hollow. I didn't have anything other than that 18mm (~3/4 inch) 5p coin for scale. The feature appears to be mineral. It can be chipped out with a blade and the fragments are gritty. It's probably humdrum but I'd like to understand what I've found so thanks to everyone for looking.

Hello, I was fossil hunting today at along the beach cliffs at Hunstanton, West Norfolk, England. Found lot of belemnites and wheels in the cliff rocks, but also found this which to me and my boyfriend looked like a bone of some sorts in the rock? We have only just started getting into fossils so any guidance as to identify this would be appreciated, even if it turns out just to be a cool shaped rock. thanks

Hi all, I was hoping for some help with this. Is it a fossil? It’s quite worn so I’m not expecting a detailed ID but some suggestions would be fantastic. I found it at Hunstanton which is chalk or Cretaceous age. I’ve also found lots of brachiopods and echinoids at this locality.

Fossil hunting in the shed like many of us - I thought I'd lost this nice globular rhynchonellid in a house move years ago. From the top Campanian/bottom Maastrichtian Chalk of Norfolk, UK. I think it's Cretirhynchia sp.

Hi, just going through some rocks I brought back from Norfolk, UK, thinking quite a few may be fossils (I didn't have long so just grabbed anything I thought looked suspiciously organic by intuition) and as it turns out I think I was quite correct in a number of cases - I think I have quite a few pieces of whale and and a few little bits of mammoth tooth. Trying to confirm this to myself led to a lot of reading and learning online about the local geological formations involved and also whale anatomy, both new topics for me which I always enjoy delving into - part of the enjoyment o

Hi, my sister found this on the beach of Hunstanton, Norfolk last year whilst on holiday We are unsure on what it is, but we think it may be an imprint of some kind of anemone or coral, not sure though The whole rock is concave and about 4.5cm across I will attach a close up of the pattern in the replies

Hi, i know this may be a long shot, but i found this fossil in the cliffs of Hunstanton, Norfolk, UK It is in a red stone, and was originally in a much larger boulder Any ideas as to what it could belong to would be greatly helpful The rock is about 9cm at its longest point, and the fossil is roughly 7cm as it goes into the rock, and would be longer if not broken.

Headed up to Walcott in Norfolk Saturday just gone, got there nice and early to beat the crowds, luckily the cold weather had put a lot of people off! Anyway, walked off towards Happisburgh and headed down below the sea defences, was soon finding small pieces of bone but nothing of any major interest, when suddenly i spotted it, up against the sea wall, standing out like a sore thumb, a tooth fragment! I quickly grabbed my prize and gazed in awe at it. I have travelled many miles searching for one of these and now i held one in my hands.

Hey, not sure I’m posting in the correct manner but any help ID’ing would be gratefully received! Also I’m aware it may not be a fossil. Found in a remote area in Breckland Norfolk UK, next to a bomb hole (which are common here) so could have been thrown up in an explosion? The photos don’t seem to capture the depth but it looks like a paw print? Cheers all

Hi everyone, A friend has asked me to post this rather beautiful mystery rock for ID, it was found by a friend of his on the Norfolk Coast UK. Unfortunately that's all the info I have on it with regards to find locality. My friend is thinking its biological in origin but I'm pretty convinced its something geological, it reminded me of cross bedding in sandstones and I came across some diagrams of cross trough bedding that seem to show an identical pattern but I cant seem to find any good photos of real examples. Any suggestions much appreciated! Regards, Sam

Hi Everyone found this on the beach at Happisburgh Norfolk is it a fossil of some kind or is it just a weird looking rock. It looks like clay but it’s a rock it’s it’s heavy like a stone of same size. Thanks for your help mart
