Lulworth is a late Jurassic to Mid Cretaceous area.

I think we need better pictures they to blurry to make out , take some in daylight and some close ups will help too. If I remember right is Lulworth where their is a petrified forest on the cliff side ?

It would be younger, but it looks much like the bivalve fossils known as clam coal at the Joggins site in Nova Scotia Canada.

Looked it up, apparently Clam Coal are clusters of blue mussels.

At Joggins large slabs of bedding plane are covered with them.

Did some googling, this went extinct 150 million years before the period of the area I was collecting

Bivalves didn't though, and neither did taphonomic processes.
