Any information on this flint would be much appreciated

Hi people. 

I am an amateur fossil hunter and I have come across this flint on my local beach. I don't expect it to be anything special but I'd like to learn more about it if you all would be kind enough to share some of your hard acquired knowledge. 

  Unfortunately I know next to nothing in regards to the specimen so I'm relying on you guys to give me a start. 

 

Located on a the Sheringham, Norfolk, England beach after some large stormy seas

 

Other common finds in this area are belemnites but of a orangery brown colour 

 

I hope this is enough to give even a brief idea 

 

Many thanks in advance for any information

I'm very much new.

But very interested to get involved and learn.

All advice is very much appreciated.

If you view it under magnification you'll see lots of organic structure. It's marine fossil material for sure. Bits of this and that and a sponge or coral encrusting it.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
