Pterygotus Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Bottom looks like a belemnite and the others look like flint/rock . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgemckenzie Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 What ones that the one on the right? And I thought the smaller black one would’ve been a shell ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give us a better look at the texture ? The shape is a little hard to dismiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgemckenzie Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Yeah here it is here the only reason that I think it is was the shape of the inside and the fact I found it in cottors gold gravel and that’s all light colour so that was the only darker piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgemckenzie Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 This is the part that made me think it was a shell of some type maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I can't see any reason to dismiss the dismissal. Nodule sounds right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
