Hi everyone, hopefully someone may be able to help. We went to Runswick Bay in North Yorkshire, UK today (my personal favourite place to look for Fossils!). I'm a VERY casual collector and an absolute amateur at it to boot. Our dog is also blind so half the time I'm making sure he's walking okay and he isn't falling over things so I don't get to properly roam like I used to. Anyway, amongst picking up an almost complete Belemite, a Belemite fragment and some Ammonite fragments and prints, I also picked up 5 rocks that I've no idea what they are but thought they were curious. One of them I'm almost certain is a fossil, it's the grey one that has a little peak top that's almost gold (which doesn't show well in the photo but in the right light, it has a gold shine to) but I don't know what it's a fossil of. I'm assuming some sort of crustacean. It's a shame I can't prep it as I'm sure it would reveal something or other. That said, it's also possible it's just a fancy piece of rock. The other 4, I've no idea what they are. I've most likely just got a pile of 4/5 interesting looking rocks which, if they are, is still cool. I tend to use them to decorate the edge of my patio pond (the fossils that aren't that perfect or ones I've brought home and then on closer inspection, realised its just a rock, ha!) I read the rules on taking photos of the fossils and have taken an awful lot of each of the 5, so here's a link to my Google Album with them all in. I've made the album so people should be able to view the photos. Tried taking from various angles etc. As there's a lot of each one, I don't suppose I'll get many/any replies but I figured this would be the best place where I MIGHT find someone who can tell me for sure if I have anything interesting or just some neat looking rocks. There's also one of our dog in there for cuteness. As we were walking back from the fossil area we tend to sit around and root for fossils, he went into cracker dog and had just dug some holes in the sand!! https://photos.app.goo.gl/dXLFRusYfRdwACco9
