Professional Photographer Looking For UK Fossil Enthusiasts For Editorial Project
mxmchwsk posted a topic in Member Introductions
Hi Everyone, I have just joined the forum and am on the hunt for fossil enthusiasts in the UK for an editorial photography project for a very well known publication. For quick reference, here is my instagram page: www.instagram.com/maxmiechowski In an ideal world, the photography story would focus on an individual who is particularly passionate about fossil hunting. My preference would be if they live near the Jurassic Coast, as it's so good for fossils and is very picturesque. Of course, it would be perfect if the individual is photogenic - perhaps someone a little older, with a strong look (think long white beard/hair/interesting clothes etc). It would also be great if their home was filled with fossils! The series would be a mixture of portraits, still life images of fossils, and atmospheric shots of the subject hunting for them. I'm also open to alternative suggestions - perhaps youth groups that do fossil hunting, or any other interesting stories! Let me know if this is you or anyone you know, or any suggestions for other forums that could be worth trying! I would, of course, provide some beautiful prints of the images as a thank you for your time. Looking forward to hearing from you all, Max- 7 replies

Hi everyone! A few months ago I came across a post by another user displaying their impressive collection of marine reptile bones they collected between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, U.K. I had no idea that you could have such success with bone fossils along this stretch, so I decided to take a trip and see what I could find. I had a great time and found a good amount of bone pieces, Here is what I came back with after 5 days of looking on Charmouth beach, in order of finding: Now some closer photos by type. I found 2 full Ichthyosaur vertebrae, one from the ribcage section (which I forgot to include in the overall photo), and one from the tail: One very small partial Ichthyosaur vertebra: 2 Ichthyosaur paddle digits: 2 pieces of Ichthyosaur rib bone, from very differently sized creatures! These two are harder to identify, the best guess so far is possibly part of a shoulder bone on the left and possibly a piece of Ichthyosaur jaw on the right, though they are quite rolled and thus hard to get a solid ID: A partial fossilised shark fin spine from a hybodus shark: Another unidentified and heavily worn piece of bone, perhaps from the skull of something, the man in the heritage centre seemed to think it wasn’t Ichthyosaur or plesiosaur: and finally, another unidentified piece, possibly some part of a fish? I have a separate ID post for these last 2 with videos and more photos of you have any ideas for them! All in all extremely happy with what I found, and will definitely be returning!

This is a marine reptile bone that i found nearly 10 years ago between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, which is famous for its Early Jurassic marine fossils (about 195 million years old). Although it is worn there is some clear shape that should indicate what bone it is, although i have so far been unable to figure it out. Realistically, it is going to be ichthyosaur (most likely) or plesiosaur in origin. Two ovular depressions/joint surfaces are clearly visible on one side of the bone. Furthermore, the flatness of the bone is real and not just due to wear (both main faces are the edge/surface of the bone). The side with the two suspected joint surfaces is the thickest side, and it slopes down to become progressively thinner opposite to them. A paddle bone of some sort is my suspicion but i am yet to see a clear match. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I found these at Charmouth over the weekend (Black Ven side) and just was hoping for some help with identifything them. I took them to the Heritage centre and Phil said they were likely a bone from the top of the skull of something (not sure what), and maybe a part of a fish - possibly the cheek? He suggested to post on a fossil ID Facebook group which I have done, IMG_4516.MOV IMG_4519.MOV and I thought I would also put it here too just to see if anyone has any ideas. I can add some still images of these videos are not clear enough.

Hello everyone - I am getting into fossil collecting and recently had a trip to Charmouth, UK. I would like to try to ID some of the pyrite ammonite species I found there. I've written what I thought they might be based on information and photos I have found online but I am very much a beginner so I would like some help checking them. I've also included another pyrite fossil which I'm not sure what it is at the end. 35mm long paperclip for scale. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 1: Both Promicroceras? 2: Not sure - maybe Echioceras? 3: Oxynoticeras? 4: Another Echioceras? 5: No idea - looks like a fragment of something conical with horizontal bands around it which can be sort of seen in the first image - mostly encased in pyrite.
