Prawncoktail Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Just wondering if anyone may have any idea as to what these are, found today in Wenlock Edge, which is majorly silurian limestone. The first five are all of the same piece. Secondly - longshot, but could tis be a tooth? And lastly, is the small spiral, a sort of Gastropod?

Fossildude19 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I don't see anything resembling a tooth here. Last one is definitely a gastropod. The others look like cross sections through something. Maybe chert nodules in limestone. @Tidgy's Dad @Bobby Rico @TqB 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Prawncoktail Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Totally new to all of this really, so i'm not all clued up lol - The bit i meant by the tooth question is the flat triangular bit iv'e circled, it's completely different to anything else on the rock, and is very flat.. I;m probably wishful thinking, but asking is learning! Also, just looked up Chert Nodule, you could well be right, Some parts seem almost fiberous looking, and a lot lighter than the rest of the rock.. Thanks btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I can't see too clearly on wifey's tiny phone screen and with my ever weakening eyesight, but that first piece looks more like what we used to call Mountain Limestone, Lower Carboniferous than the classic orange to yellow Wenlock limestone series. The second piece looks like a pebble in limestone. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
