GREAT charmouth hunt

[fossil_sea_urchin]

Hi, everyone I had a great hunt at Charmouth today and found a couple of rarer remains. I found two articulated Ichthyosaurus vertebrae almost as soon as I walked onto the beach and later on another bone that is probably Ichthyosaurus as well. Seldom do I find any decent marine reptile remains, so this was a good trip for me.

Black ven?

Could we also have more pics of the mystery bone please ? Nice finds.

Surprisingly, no. I just headed along stonebarrow and after about hundred meters, I saw some pyrite. The beach wasn't quiet either, but the majority of people were dog-walkers. I think what made it a good hunt was how extremely low the water was, you would have had no problem walking to Golden Cap.

Any ammonites?

This is the best picture I could get, I will take it to the coast centre next week anyway. @Pterygotus some very nice ammonites, but they're not nearly as rare as vertebrates, at least not the vast majority of them.

Looks like an ichthyosaur humerus or femur.

Great to find them so early on.
