DawnOfADream Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hey everyone! I was wondering if you could please help me identify these items and whether they are worth keeping! I found these three today at Beaumaris. The first one (pictures 1 + 2) appears to be some odd, fortuitous weathering of sandstone? In the second (picture 2) it seems that there may be some possible gastropod remains in there? The third item - the baguette! (pictures 3 + 4) It caught my interest due to the ridges on the top and flat base. I assume it's likely an sandstone concretion? It feels like rock on the outside and isn't as heavy as ironstone. Thanks in advance for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The second piece looks like some bone in matrix with a small gastropod cross section. 3 -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan 1000 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 @DawnOfADream The second piece does appear to be some sort of bone in matrix (Most likely Cetacean). The third piece looks to be some sort of ironstone concretion which are quite common at Beaumaris. The ironstone concretion might be a burrow but I am not 100% sure. Hope this helps, Dan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
