Hi guys my son and I have recently started searching for fossils in North Wales, my son recently found this and we wondered if it might be a fossil, as it was found on the caim area of Anglesy in North Wales, which has carboniferous limestone. The measurement of this is length 21 cm by 12 cm. Thanks for any replies

Upper Carboniferous (Duckmantian) Fish/shark tooth from coal measures. N. Wales.
Skatetom posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi people! I'm a PhD student studying a Duckmantian fossil forest in North Wales. I have found these phosphatic fish/shark? teeth and scales I need an ID on. I suspect they are Adamantina Foliacea (Cuny and Stemmerik 2018) but that is a marine shark and this sequence is almost certainly completely freshwater and thought to be an upland swamp. I'm currently doing isotope work on the nodules and plant fossils and that appears to be confirming this is a completely freshwater system. Anyone have any ideas? You'll have to click on the images again once you've opened them to zoom in! Sorry for the poor quality! Thanks, Tom

We are on the edge of the Vale of Clwyd in North Wales surrounded by limestone. Much of this limestone is full of fat, coiled fossils which I initially thought were ammonites (on the basis that in my ignorance coiled fossil = ammonite!). I have since learned that there are no ammonites in these rocks - correct?. Today though, my wife was doing some garden digging and found the specimen shown in the photos attached, loose in the soil/rock debris. This looks like an ammonite to me! Can anyone tell me what it is and whether this is its 'birthplace' so to speak. The scale in the pictures is MM.

Hi, I recently found this partial Trilobite in a small exposure of mudstone (possibly ordovician) on the Menai strait just outside of Bangor. If anyone could help me its identification that would be fantastic. Thanks, Tom
