My nephew spotted this down at Compton bay on the Isle of Wight. Sorry about the poor photos. The area is early Cretaceous wealden. The fossil is about 1.5-2cm long. Not sure what it could be but hoping it could be some sort of jaw. If anyone has any suggestions it would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Here is one of my latest finds, a very big Lepidotes! I think my heart missed a beat when I first spotted this and turned it over as it was lying on its back! It is a rare three dimensional fish fossil. It's nice to have the pectoral fin preserved. I prepped some of the front teeth out, and they are very large. Still a lot of prep work left to do on this one.

Just wondering if there is enough of this bone to make it identifiable? I assume its the proximal section of a rib, but just checking if it could be part of a fibula or tibia? From the weald clay of sussex UK. Barremian . Thanks in advance. Henry

This is a great fossil forum. A wealth of information. Lots to educate the passionate collector. I want to share a few more of my latest finds with members of this fossil forum. I hope you all enjoy the pics. These are some of my best discoveries made in my Hastings Wealden bonebed collection this past week. First off is this lovely Dromaeosaurid tooth. It took me a few hours, but I managed to prep out both sides. My best find in a while.

From the album: Dinosaurs and Reptiles
A tiny (scale 1 mm) tooth from Wealden beds, Valanginian, Early Cretaceous. Unfortunately, can't get a better quality picture, but it highly resembles small ornithopod teeth. -
Firstly, my apologies if I am posting this in the wrong section of the website. I had a lovely morning searching down at Cooden Beach, Sussex uk. Very cold, very early start, setting off in the dark at 6am to get there for sunrise. After 3 hours of fruitless searching, and ready to give up, I came across this hybodus shark skull, showing the first few vertebrae. Cartilage doesn’t fossilise too well here, so looks a bit messy. As pleased as I am with it, I can’t help thinking the remaining section of the nodule was hiding nearby, but I just couldn’t find it. I’ll head back over there in a few weeks and look for the rest of it! If anyone finds it before me please get in contact and I’ll make an offer! thanks Henry

An unidentified bone-like specimen from Wealden supergroup, Hastings subgroup (Cretaceous, Valanginian). Scalebar 1 cm. Looks like a medium-size reptile bone, but which bone and which reptile (if it actually is a reptile)? Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi guys; I have recently been treated to a nice week down the Isle of Wight and having spent the first day down in Yaverland today I though I would share some of my finds. 1) these both appear to be Vertebra, I'm assuming they are dinosaur as I'm preatty sure I've read somewhere that crocodiles have concave and convex ends to their Vertebra but may be totally of base with that assumption.

I found this tooth while searching my collection of Sussex Wealden, Hastings bone bed. Similar to the small size ornithopod dinosaur Hypsilophodon premaxilla teeth, but this species can be ruled out. It is more similar to the small ornithopod Echinodon, Purbeck beds, Dorset premaxilla teeth. The crown is smooth and asymmetrical. The root curls up at the end, similar to some Iguanodon teeth in original early illustrations of the Iguanodon species. I prepped the tooth out completely from the matrix. Tooth is very small being 5mm long. Can anyone help me with identification of this tooth?

Hi All, I picked this up online because it looked unusual. After looking at it under the microscope, I'm thinking part of a fish skull or jaw. Any thoughts?

I was so pleased to find this in the Weald Clay, UK. Not sure if it's "all that", but one of my favourite ever finds. It's is a fairly squashed turtle, and has a fair bit of the carapace, and the majority of the plastron. It needs a bit of prep, especially the underside. From a bit of research I suspect it is from the genus Brodiechelys, but would love to hear any other suggestions. Also, if anyone could suggest a professional prepper in the south of england I'd be most grateful, as I don't trust myself to undertake it. Many thanks Henry
