Hi all. I'm new to this forum. I would like some help with this little fossil I found. I have been doing some research on this lovely fossil I found in the UK. Without having it cleaned and inspected properly, I think I have a Bothriolepis from the Devonian period. What is you opinion? One day I will get this properly looked at and cleaned as I think I may have something special.

I was at a metal detecting rally near Sudbury (near Colchester) in the UK and while scanning the ground noticed an unusual but regular pattern in a flint rock. So picked it up, showed the organisers and took it home. July 2023. It looks like a long shell, but if you zoom up onto the "balls" there appear to be legs attached, centipede, or just a shell? Never seen one in flint before. Photo before and after washing with water.

Hi, I have just come across a box of trilobites for my kids section in my shop and I have no idea what they are. Could someone help with at least a name so I can make a little info label for the kids? I think they are from Wales in the UK. Thank you.

Hi, found this fossil at work the other day (sometimes as archaeologists we are on sites and that have fossils lying around in the geology, I always like those ones). It was found in north-east Leicestershire (UK). The geological maps say the bedrock geology there is 'blue lias formation', but the 'superficial geology' is something called the 'Oadby Member' (BGS Lexicon of Named Rock Units - Result Details) (which I suspect this might be from I think) formed in the quaternary but has Jurassic and cretaceous fossils churned up in it. From colleagues I have heard suggestions it might be a tree branch or coral, personally it looks to me a little more like coral. It's pretty big and potentially quite a diagnostic piece so perhaps this could even be narrowed down further? I don't know though I am certainly no expert. The sort of 'pockmarked' features on the narrow sides (I figure the wider sides have just had these eroded away?) are what makes me think this is a fossil at all, it also curiously seems to have a hole going through the middle of it, I do not know if this actually goes all the way through as it is packed with mud and I do not have a good implement to get it out, but I suspect so.
