Anyone recognise this? Phosphatic nodule, Brigantian (U. Mississippian) marine shale, Co. Durham, UK. Nodules from this bed often contain fish bits, as well as cephalopods, inarticulate brachiopods and (rare) conulariids. Not cleanly broken but the shape is ringing a bell... concave counterpart

Carboniferous echinoid from a Jurassic limestone. Lovenechinus, UK
TqB posted a topic in Member Collections
Lovenechinus lacazei (Julien) (most likely this species but I'm not sure if there's really enough diagnostic detail). Lower Carboniferous, probably Tournaisian. Very rare anyway but of especial interest as it is from the Jurassic Doulting Stone (Bajocian, Inferior Oolite) of Somerset, UK. This is a limestone full of Carboniferous detritus, formed when the Jurassic sea was washing up against the Mendip Hills Carboniferous high ground. (Just acquired via a dealer from an old collection that included Carboniferous coral and crinoid fragments from the same location. No other echinoids though!) 2.3cm across -
Hi, Here i am in sunny, mostly, Bournemouth UK. I hate to say it but I am doing the tourist thing this week. Please somebody save me and take me Barton. . Just round the Corner from the hotel there is a small museum packed with fossils and some minerals on the lower floor. Here is the url http://bnss.org.uk. Wonderful volunteer showed me the collections and besides what is in the cabinets there are drawers filled to the brim. As it is a charity and only open to the public on Tuesday's, more often over the holidays, donations are very welcome. I have photos to share but need to get home first to download. Loads of Barton stuff. They have other galleries such as Archaeology, Egyptology, real mummy in a sarcophagus. Stuffed animals etc. Watch this space.

Hi everyone, on a trip over the weekend to the north of Scotland hunting for Devonian fish I struck it lucky and found a nice specimen of a rare placoderm fish in a hard carbonate nodule. It needs glued back together and reverse prepped and I definitely don't have the experience to do it myself. My 30th birthday is coming up in a few months and my family have really kindly offered to get it prepped for me as a birthday gift, can anyone recommend a preparator in the UK? Any suggestions much appreciated! Regards Sam

Hi there I found this vertebra on the beach here at Walton on the Naze, Essex, UK. Unusually it was found on the sandy beach near the pier rather than the usual spot near the cliffs. Anyway, from the little I know is it right to assume that shark vertebrae have regular bony connections in the profile, Ray vertebrae tend to be smooth in profile and bony fish have irregular profiles. Is this generally true or am I way off the mark? Given that, is this a bony fish vertebra rather than shark, and if so is there any way to pin it further down to a given species? thanks in advance, Carl

Hi there, i found this today within the shingle at Walton on the Naze in Essex, UK. The usual teeth found here are striatolamia and Otodus but in humble opinion this doesn’t appear like any of those. Dare I say more like carcharocles (is that spelled right?) I’m trying to not get too excited but any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I found these while pulling apart loose shale eroding from the rockface at the Lady's Walk Shale, Scotland. Be interested for any thoughts...! Can upload better pics if needed.

Hi, Went on a small hike today in my local area, Glouctershire UK. There is a hillside that was once part of the sea during the Jurassic period. Found this strange looking thing that really stood out. It was palm sized, found shells embedded in the rock a few feet away. Fossil or just a strange shaped rock? Any help welcomed, thanks!

Found this at Lepe beach (famous for Paleocene and Eocene period fossils), Hampshire, UK. On the bottom left, I could see a shell (or a small leaf of coniferous tree ish) looking mark on the pebble. Could this be a fossil? Thank you!

Kate and I were having a bit of a day yesterday so we decided off the cuff to visit Offerton 8 miles from Home to chill out. Hit an amazing vein, I’ve never had such a variety.
