Hello everyone! if I could first stress I have been wrong about a lot of suspected finds so I’m hoping I’m not seeing things in the rock again!! I found these in a rubbish pile in work and assumed they could be coalfield fossils. If I’m wrong I apologise for wasting your time. There are a of these to get through If my suspicions are correct but I’ll start with 3 to see if im on the right track and refer to them as A,B, and C. I was told vertebrate fossils from the Carboniferous time period are rare so I wanted to make sure I haven’t got something that needs a more professional hand as some of them are very fragile and require stabilising and some TLC. I would also take any advice going please. Thank you so much in advance for any and all advice and opinions. subject A first 6 pics i believe to be a sharks tooth in a jaw (X2 I won’t insult you by hazarding a guess as to what species) subject B the next 6 pics i believe to be some form of icthyosaur tooth and there are loads more but just included 1 for now. subject c I believe to be part of an icthyosaur jaw. I am sorry if Ive wasted anyone’s time in the past and again if I have now but if vertebrate coal field fossils are important It’s worth the risk. There are around 2 bin bags full so I will happily make a donation if anyone is interested. let me know what you think please and I’l catalogue the lot after treating them. There are some larger pieces too which look very much like a skull. As I said I need help with them if they are fossils, and what to do about reporting them if required. hopefully they are not convenient water marks All the best
