KingSepron Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 He’s had these fossils for a while, he’s convinced he collected them himself, and he’s never collected outside the UK so they must have been from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingSepron Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 My cat obsessively licks my fingers whenever i touch this, which is very unlike her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingSepron Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 On the bottom right of the fossil on this pic shows the interesting texture that drew my attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I think the kitty lick is an internal mold of a bivalve. The other must be spongy bone, or perhaps even a bone cartilage gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calli99 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 To me the first one looks a bit like Nypa burtini, a palm fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More pixels, cropped image or the like. I'm doubting my first assessment now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Now I can confidently say that I do not know. If this could be from the London clay the knowledge might be useful to someone familiar with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think that the cat lick one is a strongly weathered bivalve shell. Maybe the cat liked the salt on it if it came from a beach.

KingSepron Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I’m gonna have access to a microscope for a short time soon, would there be any way to use that to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
