    Found by my 4 year old

    Hello all. My daughter is very keen on fossils (via a love of dinosaurs!) and quite by chance found this amongst our driveway stones this morning… Is it a fossil? If so, does anyone have any idea what it might be? She would love to know. We’re in Wiltshire in the UK but the stones could have come from anywhere - they’re loose and were probably bought as a bulk load when the former owners redid our drive. Many thanks for any info!

    Port Mulgrave find.

    Picked this up off the foreshore today. Different to what I usually find when I visit this location. Interested to know what it is and how best to prep/ look after it. Complete amateur at prepping with only basic hand tools. It's quite large 20cm across with lots of quartz in the segments.

    Unknown tooth Jurassic Coast UK

    Someone recently gave me a beautiful fossil tooth from the Jurassic Coast as a gift. More specifics of the Black Ven Cliff between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, UK. Can anyone help me identify this tooth?

    Otodus Tooth? - Anglesea, Wales

    Hi All, I'm very new to the world of fossils and already have a question... This fossil was found among the rocks on a beach in Anglesea, Wales (UK). From trying to research, my best guess is otodus obliquus (upper L8/L9) going off crown size. However, I can't find any info about finding these in the UK - all the ones I've seen similar are from Morocco. Is Anglesea a possible location for these sharks or is my ID way off? Thanks in advance!!

    New finds south coast UK.

    I'm new here, so firstly: Hello! I've been collecting a lot of fossils on the south coast of England this summer, but identifying these 3 has so far eluded me. These were all collected loose on the beach. Hopefully the photos are good enough to give a fair representation.
  7. Hello there, we were wondering if anyone was able to identify this fossil, found on the floor in the Peak District in the UK? There are some photos below, though the fossil is only really visible on one side. It is convex and textured, almost like a giant thumb. Any ideas or suggestions for further research would be appreciated. Thanks

    Tooth/ claw?

    Hi, I dug this up from the ground while working today, any ideas on what it is.

    Is this a fossilised octopus?

    Can anyone help identify the fossil found in this pebble found on the beach Nr Newhaven?
  11. Elzbelz83

    Fossil ID please

    Hi, I live near the Kent coast (UK), an area of which is good for shark-teeth hunting. I'm not so experienced with identifying anything else though! I found this today; any ideas? Thank you!

    Is this a fossilised orange

    Good afternoon, whilst digging out the garden we have found this perfectly round rock, looks a lot like orange skin and even has a core. I was curious to see inside so broke into the rock to find a crust on the outside. (I kind of wish I didn’t) Is anybody able to confirm my suspicions?

    Where are all the British mosasaurs?

    Hi all, While I'm aware that current Cretaceous exposures in Britain are largely restricted to the south and east coasts of the islands (see geological map below; source), significant marine deposition is said to have taken place across much of Great Britain from the Aptian onward (source). As such - and especially considering the richness of the record of the marine ecosystem during the Jurassic- one would expect an abundance of marine reptile remains to be known from British Late Cretaceous sediments as well, the epitome of which, of course, would be the mosasaurs. However, whereas finds of remains of ichthyosaurs and pliosaurs have been reported (see, for instance, Fischer et al. 2014 or Madzia 2016) - albeit from somewhat older strata than from which one might expect mosasaur remains to show up - very little information actually seems to be available as concerns this highly diverse group of marine squamates. When browsing the literature, for example, I've only found limited references to mosasaurs in Britain, most notably in Benton and Spencer's (1995) "Fossil Reptiles of Great Britain", in which the authors (p. 221) observe that Some further mentions of mosasaurs are made in this work on pages 264-265, which include lists of marine reptile finds at various locations across the country, as well as page 270, which describes St. James's Pit in Norwich, Norfolk, purportedly "Britain's best mosasaur locality" (ibid.). The pages have been reproduced below for ease of reference: Some material is also illustrated and described by Milner in "Fossils of the Chalk, second edition" (Smith and Batten, eds., 2002), but again minimally so: Plate 64 3) Leiodon anceps, Campanian, Norwich, Norfolk; 4) Clidastes sp., ?Upper Turonian, Dorking, Surrey; 5, plioplatecarpinae incertae sedis, Upper Chalk, Sussex Plate 65 1) Clidastes sp., Upper Chalk, Sussex; 5) cf. Tylosaurus, Santonian, Forness Point, east of Margate, Kent Outside of that, over the past couple of years I've only bumped into some loose specimens here and there being offered at auction sites, such as the below batch of alleged mosasaur teeth from Worcestershire, purportedly once part of the prominent Gregory, Bottley and Lloyd collection (at the resolution provided and in their state of preservation it's hard to make out whether they are indeed mosasaurian, however); or the mosasaur lumbar vertebra of unknown origin. It was actually these specimens that first attracted my attention to the existence of British mosasaurs, since so little has been reported on them elsewhere: an internet search doesn't result in anything fruitful, for example, nor have I come across any mosasaur material listed in museum collections. I would therefore be very interested in hearing what you all make of the above specimens, as well as the apparent paucity of British mosasaur material either in museums or published literature. Is this just the outcome of a collection/research bias, lack of suitable accessible exposures, or could there be another reason... @Praefectus @JohnJ @caterpillar @Welsh Wizard @paulgdls @DE&i and others
  14. 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!
  15. 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
  16. Padder0k

    Can anyone help ID this?

    Found by a riverbank of the river Tees (UK) Might be a pseudofossil? But I'm not qualified to guess - make sure to let me know if I should delete the post, thanks :))

    Fossil ID | Eocene | UK

    Dear FossilForum members, I'm an aspirant fossil hunter and thought I'd reach out to you to possibly help identify this recent find (7 images attached, approx. 21cm x 7,5cm x 2cm), found in an Eocene layer (UK, Hampshire Coast)...flat, curved and ‘channels' running down the center of (concave) back (image 02)...could it be a rib? Any (comparative) insight you may provide would be much appreciated. Regards & thanks
