Hello Everyone, I went to Bracklesham Bay for the first time yesterday and despite the sand found several ray plates, shark teeth and gastropods but this find stood out. I'm not sure what it is but I'm hoping it might be a seed or fruit. I know that Nipa fruit are occasionally found there. Each box is 5mm. Hopefully someone can let me know what it is. Thank you, Benton

Hi All, I was hoping someone could help with identifying what this formation is within this flint I cracked while flint knapping earlier this week. The formation looks very organic and even plant like however I know that mineral deposits and other geological formations can seem like fossil material to the untrained eye, and my eye isn't very trained in this! The flint used was taken from a beach in Littlehampton, Sussex, UK. This flint is of Cretaceous age if that's useful at all. If you could add your input on whether this is a fossil or a geological feature and what it is exactl

Hi everyone Newbie here from Sussex in the UK I love beachcombing and I am always looking for fossils although I have never found one. But today I found this unusual imprint on a stone on a pebble beach in Bexhil on sea in East Sussex, UK Any ideas what it could be? Thank you so much Tasza

Hey folks, Found this fossilised tooth straight from the surf at Hove Beach in Brighton, Sussex UK. Assuming it's a horse tooth? Any better ideas? Also, any clue on age? It's my first ever find, so I have no idea what I'm looking at... tooth.mp4

Hi I am based in West Sussex UK and have been doing a bit of weeding in my garden during lock-down. I keep coming across stones that look to me like fossilised bones. I could be wrong though!! Maybe you can help please??

Hi guys do you think you could get this to a species level, might be being a bit picky but I thought it was worth a try it’s 3cmlong and 1.3 cm tall sorry if the photos were bad I tried my best

Hello, My 7 yr old son has started to really get into fossil hunting and we found the following tooth at Bracklesham Bay on Sunday. I'm guessing it's a shark's tooth but does anyone know what breed? (Hoping I've done the photos right, bit of a flimsy tape measure) Front, back and side Thank you x

Natalie and I are planning our holiday to the UK, We are planning to reside from saturday 20 july to 24 july on the isle of Wight were we went last year. And from the 25th until the 28th we are planning to do either the coast of Sussex or Dorset. This is where the advise of the TFF members come in, what would you advise us to visit, either Dorset or Sussex. Of course if any member is free on one of those dates and is willing to guide us around this would be even better. We also take a bunch of Belgian fossils along for possible trades. (we are especially

Found on a river bed in Sussex, south coast of England. No idea what it is. Any ideas ? Thanks

Picked this up on the beach today. I'm still a noob, but having lived in East Sussex for a few months I've become pretty adept at identifying our local fossils (if it isn't a sea urchin, it's a sponge), but this new thing has me stumped! Initially I thought it was some kind of coral, then on further inspection I thought maybe the top part of an ammonite (or mollusc) shell. Now I'm coming back round to thinking it might be an echinoid, but I can't explain the strut-like structures (surely not spines!?). The Details This was found on the beach near Rottingdean, East Suss

Hello all! I recently moved into a fossil rich area and have found myself coming home from beach walks with arm-fulls of interesting rocks. I am still very new to this! Most of my finds have been echinoids and sponges (sometimes both in the same rock!). However this guy, while obviously an urchin, is still somewhat of a puzzle. The Details This was found on the beach near Saltdean, East Sussex, UK. That means it is likely late Cretaceous. The area is a couple of miles west of Peacehaven, home to several giant Parapuzosia ammonites, and a much richer seam o

Mystery find in Bexhill fossil matrix (Weald Clay, UK), might this be fossilized skin?
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone, I need some help identifying something I found yesterday when I went through my newly acquired fossil matrix. Some information on the matrix, it came from the Hastings Bone beds, Weald Clay, Wealden of Bexhill, Wealden Supergroup, Bexhill, Sussex, UK (Cretaceous, Valanginian, 135 million years old) To me when I found it, it looked like skin, not like the crocodile scutes I am familiar with , but really more like skin. But since I am not really an expert on the matter is doesn't really matter what I think it might look like. I do know dinosaur fossils are common there an -
This is a great fossil forum. A wealth of information. Lots to educate the passionate collector. I want to share a few more of my latest finds with members of this fossil forum. I hope you all enjoy the pics. These are some of my best discoveries made in my Hastings Wealden bonebed collection this past week. First off is this lovely Dromaeosaurid tooth. It took me a few hours, but I managed to prep out both sides. My best find in a while.

For all of you that visit here,there should be more treasures being weathered out as a third major cliff fall has dumped 50,000 tonnes of chalk on to the foreshore.More is expected.Unfortunately one person has died believed to have fallen from the top.Please take care.

Dinosaur, Shark Fossils From Sussex Weald,england.

Found this rather nice dinosaur footprint a while back in Fairlight Cove, posted it as it is nice & clear (& I like the colour contrast). Geology dates to approximately 143 - 139 mya. There is also a nearby sunken forest thought to be 6,000 years old + that is usually overlooked & unknown to the majority of the beachcombers. Not a location I often go to, but it is a great site and I will have to go back soon. Happy days fossil hunting!
