Hello, I wanted to ask about a couple fossils from the Hastings subgroup, Wealden supergroup, Wealden of Sussex. One is a tooth labeled Baryonyx and measures 0.4 cm. At that size I'm assuming this is just a tooth tip or from a juvenile? The other is a "theropod" claw measuring 0.7 cm. It's very tiny and has an odd protrusion on the underside towards the articulating end, which reminds me more of some bird claw cores. Is this even dinosaurian?

Hello, What do these two pieces look like? Are they dino material? Hastings subgroup,, Wealden of Sussex, UK. 1. Vertebra. Doesn't seem theropod to me at a glance. 2. "Theropod Foot Cast" is how it was identified. Personally I just see a suggestively-shaped rock.

Listed as a partial tibia and being hollow, possible theropod? Very small--just under 1inch. Is there any other possibilities for such a small, hollow bone? Could it be a type of small reptile for instance? Also, is it Tibia, or another type of bone? Wealden Clay, Hastings Sub Group Thanks for the help

I wasn't gonna bother with this cos its pretty waterworn. Hylaeosaur stuff is pretty rare Hylaeosaurus, from Wealden Clay, Hastings. I know it may be difficult to ID this one becausr of the condition as being Hylaeosaurus. But, any help would be great!

Hi everyone! I am new here & new to fossil hunting. I recently gravitated towards this & threw it in my backpack on a hike near the Vermillion River in Hastings MN. Upon cleaning it up, I immediately thought it was part of a vertebra due to the shape but I thought it could also be some type of coral. Would love some feedback! Thanks!!

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

These are a couple of things found at Rock-a-Nore Hastings, East Sussex, England One is Tempskya erosa a complete section of trunk. The close up shows the detail I absolutely fell in love with. Found on a day trip to visit my geologist friend who took me along the foreshore from Hastings, the weather was absolutely horrendous but, I always walk with my eyes on the ground and picked up this beautiful example on the way back after finding nothing. I seem to find something each time I go out with him on a field trip and each time he says 'how do you do it'. The other one is from the same place but not found until this year when I bashed a not too promising bit of rock. Photos of this Conchostracans Clam Shrimp are now used in his lectures as they are better than the ones he has. . They are often mistaken for bivalves. Sorry no scale on that photo about the size of your little finger nail and at the limit of the macro on my camera lens, just a plain digital, nothing special.

HelloLooking for a bit of advice on how to glue/stick together larger pieces of rock.I came across what I believe to be a water weathered Dino rib (?). It was already fractured into sections in a rock pool: Now extracted it is cleaned and dried ready to be put back together, and looks like this: Given that it is quite a long (40-50cm), heavy fossil, and relatively fragile, I need to figure out how to put it back together securely.Would it be a good idea to stabilize it first soaking with paraloid on each bit before gluing together?When it comes to the glue, I reckon gorilla glue is pretty sturdy? or is super glue a better idea?Then I could fill in the cracks with modelling clay?Then to support the whole thing, should I be sticking it in a box of sand, or something more permanent?Sorry for all the questions, but I'm out of my depth more than ever with this one. So any criticisms or suggestions for any stage of my plan would be most welcome.ThanksHenry

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?

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

Hi This possibly should be in the ID Forum, but I'm fairly sure this is a crushed sharks skull? found near hastings, UK. The main thing I need to check, is that since finding it quite a few months ago, it seems to be taking on a dusty/powdery appearance. Could this be corroding some how? and is there anything I could do to stop it. I soaked it for a few weeks in fresh water, and it's been kept in a drawer. Thanks

Hi I'm new to this forum and was hoping someone could help me ID the bone attached. It was found at Hastings, UK. The rocks here are early cretaceous around 140MYO. Given the size of it (about 20cm long), the assumption would be Iguanadon? but I can't figure out what part of the animal it could be. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Many thanks
