Complete newbie. This may not even be a tooth. But there’s been some building work near us (Oxford, UK) and diggers have unearthed lots of unusual rocks. We’ve found plenty of belemnites and now this. Any ideas?

Hello all, I've had two teeth in my collection for many years now. I've recently moved and lost the supplied ID labels that came with them. I've taken this as a nice opportunity to see what others may think they are. I believe if memory serves me right the large tooth (Tooth A in photos) was labeled as a Simolestes. Then the smaller tooth tip (Tooth B in photos) labeled as Liopleurodon. I know both were found in the Wicklesham pit in Faringdon, Oxfordshire, UK. Upon some research, I found an article from 2014 with a Dakosaurus tooth discovered to be the largest in the UK at the time. This tooth bears some resemblance to tooth A but I'm unsure. I've attached a link to the article below. Tooth B has been worn down but still presents with grooves in the enamel. I have also labeled each photo to allow for easier identification when talking about it (Hope this helps!). Im excited to hear what others think. Thanks for reading Link to articles on Dakosaurus- http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/science-tooth-fossil-dakosaurus-maximus-01954.html

I'm interested in a pliosaur vert. This one is slightly distorted due to crushing. From Kimmeridge Clay. 9cm x 6cm x2.5 Is Pliosaur accurate, or is it plesiosaur,.or something else? Thanks.

Oxford University Museum of Natural History (May take some time for me to upload all of the pics, so give or take 30 min) My thing is if I’m traveling to another country, I love seeing a varied collection of fossils at the museum found in that same country. This was exactly that. Stunning and one of my favorites. Positives: If you are looking for Mesozoic everything, this museum is for you - much important paleontology history here Many fossils on display from many eras Organized, convenient More actual fossils than replicas Some curve ball specimens (more impressive, less known ones on display that I did not anticipate on seeing prior) You leave telling yourself you would like to go back. Negatives: No complaints that I can think of really, just tough taking pics with the glare from the glass, but that’s always the case. My vote is 9/10 for dinosaur lovers considering quality, not quantity...anyhow there is definitely your fair share, with jaw dropping displays, literally. My favorite two were Megalosaurus bucklandii and a gigantic Pliosaur jaw that you will find in the pics. Enjoy the mini tour, tried to cover as much as I could.

Hi guys I have never been to one of the Oxford shows and I was wondering whether it would be worth me going? Does anyone have any advice? I saw in a previous thread that some people have been there, but weren't so sure on the quality? Thanks. (Also is anyone going?)

There was a fossil show in Oxford yesterday. Unfortunately due to family commitments I was unable to attend. Did any UK members go? Photos?
