Pleuromya Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hello, I found this fossil in Northamptonshire, UK, which is Jurassic. I'd guess belemnite, but I'm not certain. One photo shows the fossil impression. The scale is in centimetres. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Can you please show a shot from the left side of the object, top. I'm pretty sure that this is not a belemnite, rather a matter of mineral staining. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Pleuromya Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Sorry about that. Here it is. I tried to have the sun shine on it, but my shadow blocked it. It does seem to widen out, so it's probably not a belemnite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TqB Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 It's a shell with borings of some sort. You do see that sort of trace in belemnites but there's not enough of this visible to say what it is. 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them either. Are you uploading from a Google image drive rather than directly from your device? If so, the Forum software doesn't cooperate well with it. Your initial images seem to appear just fine, but none of your followup ones. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
