Hi everyone, I was walking by the riverbank of the Thames in London during a low tide and on the sand I found this tooth-shaped stone, to be honest it doesn't feel like a stone but more wood as it's very lightweight. It's about 7.5/8 cm long and the texture inside it on the top end makes me think about a bone. I'll leave it to you thanks in advance.

Very large & irregular flint nodule, sea sponge or burrow system?
Thames Adventurer posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi! I found this very large and irregularly shaped flint nodule on the Thames foreshore, London. To me, it kind of looks like the branching arms of a sea sponge, but I have heard that flint nodules also sometimes filled the shape of animal burrows and other things. It has a number of holes/handles in it. What do you think it is?- 9 replies

Can anyone identify any of these bones found by my 7 year old at Wapping pls? We went to look for the gallows at the Prospect of Whitby pub and literally stumbled upon these. She’s very excited to find out what they belonged to and has taken some to school today! We are thinking cow or horse due to sheer size and weight. Thank you ..

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and wondering if you could all help me out. I found this fossil on the Thames foreshore in London at low tide. I would love to know what it came from! My only thought is that one side looks like rings of a tree and 2 other sides look a bit like bark. Would be very grateful for any help! Thanks

Hello, A few days ago, me and my dad had to travel to London to get my American passport renewed at the US embassy. Afterwards, my dad headed towards the cafe to get something to eat as I took a stroll along the thames foreshore. I quickly realized that there were a lot of bones and teeth scattered along the shoreline, at the time I thought they were pleistocene, but now that I've looked online it seems to me that they're "medieval", apparently the tudors and georgians habitually tossed dead animal carcasses into the river. Even so, some of the teeth I picked up were very heavy and I couldn't help thinking that they could be pleistocene. Is there a possibility of them being pleistocene or is it all wishful thinking on my part? I reckon photo 2 is a bison tooth although am not sure. Photo 3 looks like two sheep teeth. The jaw seems to be from a domesticated pig (so probably something the georgians tossed into the river) and I believe the canine in the last photo comes from a dog. Can anyone ID the rest of the teeth and whether they are pleistocene or not? Thanks Here are the photos, hopefully they help:

I found this on the Thames at east tilbury, can anyone identify what it is that I’ve found? I think it’s a fossilised coconut It has three segments but I can’t get a photo of that side to upload. Thanks.

Hi I picked up this object which I believe to be some sort of tooth, while mudlarking in the Thames. Photos included. Does anyone knows what animal it may have belonged to? Thanks!

Hello everyone! My wife and I were walking down on the Thames Riverbank today (Not looking for fossils for once lol) and we looked down and instantly saw some bones. We just picked these up because they have teeth in them. Like I said we’re not here for that and are in dress clothes. I’m curious about what animal they’re from, what time period and of course the legality of even picking them up. Does anyone know if we can fly with them? I need to know because we head back to Texas relatively early tomorrow. Any input is much appreciated. Thank you.
