Hi. Controversial or me being fooled again? Last year I was fooled by a rose thorn, so I have form lol Anyway, I was going to leave this on the beach this morning as it’s clearly something like a peach pit / stone so *must* be modern and *cant* be a fossil. I read the post from 2018 on a similar find in Yorkshire so I did some tests: It sinks in water It “tings” when you hit it with a spoon It does not burn when placed in the flame of a cooker burner I cannot make a mark with a needle However it does not seem as heavy as a natural stone of a similar size despite it sinking “like a stone”. This site is known for fossil sharks teeth as well as wood, fruits and seeds from the London clay beds together with later ice age finds as well as human activity up to the Roman period. Should I throw this in the bin as modern or is this something more interesting. My money is on the former…… ;) Thanks in advance!

Hi all, can you please help me as I’m in two minds about this as it looks for all the world like a rose thorn but ‘feels’ the same as the sharks teeth we find here in the beach. We usually find sand shark in abundance but this doesn’t look like any of the teeth I have found before. What do you think? it would have been from the London Clay beds if it is a tooth. thank you! PS the dimension on the tape measure shows it to be approx 1cm in length.

I’m in the ‘it’s just a rock’ camp but that 1% of me is saying well it looks weird to be just a rock. What do you guys think? It’s flinty / cherty and what I would expect a beach pebble to weigh. It was found at Walton on the Naze in Essex U.K. which is famous for sharks teeth, fossilised wood and the occasional bird bone. Just a rock, right?

Hello forum, Recently I went to Walton on the Naze and I found a nodule on the beach that contained many fossil, some quite remarkable containing a shark tooth, scales, bones, fossilized wood and many more things to excavated. At first I was not going to pick it up ,as it was heavy (20lb to be exact). But I was upset to find out that I walked past a large megalodon tooth that someone else picked up. So here I am and now have this lump of rock, I have soak it for some time, to hopefully stop or slowdown pyritization. Now in the next few days I will be starting my prepping journey. Will anyone be able to give me advice, as I'm only using Dremel's, I wont be able to afford any thing else as it will not be in my budget. Opinion WANT TO REMOVE THE FOSSIL WOOD! THE SHELL ARE CHALKY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO STOP THIS FROM FALLING APART? AND PREVENTING PYRITIZATION WITH NAIL POLISH OR CLEAR VARNISH ? Here are some pictures out of many.

Hi Forum Members, I would like to have some help with some identification, I believe to have found a fossilized bracket fungus, found at Walton on the naze around 1 week ago washed up in amongst fossilized tree material. At first i thought it was a crab, but when i took it home to my amazement it was to me to be a piece fossilized wood with fungus in a matrix. Also I would like to have advise on how to preserve fossilized wood ,seeds and shark teeth from London clay. As I have been told, the way to preserve my fossils from the naze. Will be the process of have them in boiling water , then let them dry and then put nail polish on them. Here are 2 photos. SHARKY
