Unknown fossil from the Vectis formation of Yaverland - Isle of Wight
ADfossils posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello! I just came back from my first dream trip to the Isle of Wight. I found a lot of beautiful fossils, including an Iguanodon vertebra from Brook Bay, a lot of small teeth, bones from the Vectis and Wealden formation of Yaverland etc. I will post everything in a few days when I'm done preparing them. In the meanwhile, I stumbled upon this in some matrix from the Vectis formation at Yaverland. It is in 3D and approximately 1 cm / 0.4 inch in length. Would anyone be familiar with the Vectis formation and have an idea of what this could be? Thank you!

Hello, I recently visited Yaverland on the Isle of Wight and found some material which may or may not be fossilised remains. I would be exceptionally grateful if someone would be able to tell be if these are fossil bone. Photos 1-2 are of the same rock from different angles. Photos 3-5 are also of the same rock. Many thanks, W

Hi guys, managed to get my annual trip to the Isle of Wight in this august. I had a great time and found some amazing fossils. I will write each report in this thread when I have time. The first trip wasn’t actually on the Isle of Wight but bracklesham bay, and the day started at 5:30 so I could get there for the low tide. For a summer trip this was actually amazingly successful so hope you enjoy Lovely view as usual! Here are some not so hard spot your own fossils. big Venericor All the finds. And now for some closeups: Striatolamia macrota, the top left one is interesting as it was found far down the beach where the wittering formation which doesn’t normally produce teeth is . Brachycarcharias lerichei Anomotodon novus turtle shell Shark Denticles? Does anyone have any ideas? All the Ray plates and a rare section of associated Myliobatis. My first partial croc tooth. Physogaleus secundus We went for a nice walk along the coast to west wittering where I found this fossil fish scale. Until next time.

Hi guys, I was wondering if it was possible to put a species to any of these teeth I found over the summer I assume all the croc teeth are likely the same species 1. theropod tooth, probably too worn to identify 2. croc #1 3. croc 2 3. croc 4 Thanks for your help

Hi guys I found a lot of bone bits over the summer on the Isle of Wight, but here a few bits I think could potentially be identifiable (not to a species but to a location in the body) 1.has an articulation surface, part of a very maybe? 2. Very slender, rib I assume 3. Leg bone 4. Coprolite? 5. Looking at the holes in the bone, they remind me of a croc jaw ( though it isn’t one) 6. another one with articulating surface, end of a rib maybe? thanks for your help

Found in a rock pool on Yaverland beach, Isle of Wight. I don’t know anything about the local geology but the encasing rock is dark grey, quite hard with a texture similar to concrete. I collected it because it looked clawish and a geologist who happened to come by said it looked dinosaury, though palaeontology isn’t his field! There’s no honeycomb in the cross-sections so I think it looks most like part of a big shellfish, but am clueless really. Any ideas?

Hi all, I found this concretion when I was fossil hunting in Yaverland, Isle of Wight. It appears to have a tooth and bone fragments in it. I was wondering if anyone could help identify what these fossils may have belonged to. Many thanks in advance!

Hi all! Some time ago a friend of mine found what seems to be a turtle bone at Yaverland (Isle of Wight - UK) along with some eroded fish and crocodile remains. Honestly, we have no idea about this small isolated bone. We'd be very grateful if you could help us. Thanks in advance.

I have never had much luck finding Dionsaur fossils on the isle of wight, the odd rolled bit here and there, this summer i was getting better and spotting the rolled bone better. As well as fossil hunting i love metal detecting on the beaches. Well last weel i was detecting the shingle on a washed out clay area, there was lots of bits of fossil wood that kept catching my eye and i picked some of them up to check.... i found some bullet heads and shrapnel and a few badly beach tumbled coins... the light was fading and i spotted what was either another bit of fossil wood...or maybe bone so i picked it up anyway, it gently scrapped it with my thumb nail and it was hard so not wood.... i looked at it for a short moment and said to my friend who knows nothing about fossils "its looks like a claw" but how many people have picked up something that just looks like a tooth or a claw, he thought it was wood or coal but i have found claws at bouldnor from other animals so i had a good feeling but did not want to get my hopes up. I hope home and posted some photos up for some local hunters to look at, the feed back was looking good but no one dare commit to saying "yer it is a claw". I took it to the local museum the next day and i was glad to hear it was in deed a claw.... there was one other specimin there to compair it to but they are such an un common find there is not much to compair it to. I was told it was likely to be an arm claw because of the curvature it had but at the moment species is unknown.... assumptions are Baryonyx or Neovenator.... i have left it with them in the hope they get a chance to have a good look and see if they come up with anything.... fingers crossed for more info soon.... Happy hunting eveyone!

Hi, After deciding to post an October find item, I thought I would post these photos for your suggestions. I prepped them all last weekend at the same time as the spine. Photos 1 -3 only had its edge showing and the matrix is really hard so the engraver came out, yeah it still works. Held my breath and went for it and managed not to break what I think is some turtle shell, it is 4cm long and 4mm thick. I am reluctant to prep the other side and remove all of the matrix as I do not want to ruin it completely. It is not much to look at but for the size of the fragment. The photos are self explanatory. The following ones are from the same rock at the other end. A chunk of bone, maybe part of a jaw it is 3.5 cm long. It was not until I prepped it that the tiny jaw 1cm long with 6 teeth sockets appeared to one side, one socket has a broken tooth in it, not my fault. Initially I only saw the end, I thought turtle shell as the profile was V shaped suggesting an edge. I dare not try to uncover it anymore It could be a small croc or maybe Amia which is known from the same matrix which is part of the Atherfield Clay formation, I really have no idea. Any experts out there please jump in with what you think it is. Cannot post it in finds as I cannot ID it, sugar.

Here is a Hoplopteryx lewesiensis fish scale found in the lower chalk at the end of Yaverland Beach Isle of Wight. (1 mile walk from entrance point), I only saw a tiny bit of black on the surface, so that went into my rucksack and after a lot of careful prep this complete scale came out. Well worth the slog to get there.
