I am trying to find crabs or lobster at warden point but have had no luck yet. I was wondering if anyone had advice where to look, such as in the muddy areas or the shingle beach and if the area in the photo is a good area. Thank you for any help

I recently found this on the foreshore of warden point, an Eocene, London clay deposit on the isle of sheppey, it has a woody internal structure that the pics don’t really show and it is kind of symmetrical, is it a seed pod, thanks

Whilst walking on sheppey yesterday I found a good size crocodile vert in a phosphatic nodule. I'd love for it to be prepped professionally, I don't think me trying with hand tools and limited know how will end well. It is one of my first larger finds so I'd love for it to look as nice as possible. Are there any preparators or prep services you would recommend for sheppey fossils that may work with this? I understand this will not be the most aesthetic or easy prep job, as is often the case for sheppey finds, but it means alot to me. The nodule is a bit worn, but soft enough to scrape matrix with a finger nail in some areas, and hard in others.

Please help me identify these finds from the bottom of a clay cliff in Warden Point, Isle of Sheppey a - 0.5cm thick, almost flat, smooth on the other side b - i think this is not a fossil but a handle of an old knife c - round in cross section d - this is hexagonal in cross section the remaining ones are all of the same kind and the beach was full of them, i guess they may not be fossils either but what are they?

Hi, I am new to the forum and glad to be amongst fellow enthusiasts. I recently made a rather wet and windy visit to Warden Point (Kent, UK). Amongst the usual pyritised shells, seed pods and wood on the foreshore I found 4 items that totally escape me and I would be grateful if any of you could provide any pointers. The first appeared to be a tooth but on closer examination seems to be either a conical piece of coral or a shell? The second seems to be a small section or articulation but I’ve no idea if this would be plant or animal? The third look like a section of bone with an appearance of flesh like indentations. On the final piece my mind was totally confused. Whilst I know pyritises can take on odd shapes but I started to convince myself that this was a small skull (2 eye orbits and a nose section) highly unlikely but worth asking the question. Many thanks for any help you can offer. Whatever the outcome I had a fine day and even bumped into the remains of a WWII sound mirror – an acoustic forerunner of radar, lying on the shore with an actual concrete radar station that had slipped down the cliff face intact, amazing. Best regards Keith

Hi all. I went fossil hunting at the isle of Sheppey, Warden point. I found this one curious item, which I initially thought was a fossilised crab carapace. It is difficult getting the photos perfect, but I hope someone can help me ID what it is. Thank you, Nico Loubser
