Hello again all. Thank you for being so helpful last time. Our Wiltshire driveway has proven rather fruitful…! Since the scleractinian coral, daughter has since found these two (plus another coral). She is, as ever, super excited. Any thoughts? (We are Wiltshire UK and the fossils were in our driveway stones. The stone with the little star is approx 3cm by 6cm and the stone with the layered lines is about 2cm by 3cm. We’ve started to put them into little display pots). Thank you in advance!

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!

Hi to all, I've been trying to find a positive id for this one for some time now, my guess is that it could be a partial conical shell with remains of the animal still inside it. The inner 'shell' and contents are pyrited (iron), found in Wiltshire,England in a predomately chalk and flint with a very thin topsoil area, iron pyrite nodules are very common in this location. Than you Tony
