Hunstanton fossil bone?

Recommended Posts

Hello, I was fossil hunting today at along the beach cliffs at Hunstanton, West Norfolk, England. Found lot of belemnites and wheels in the cliff rocks, but also found this which to me and my boyfriend looked like a bone of some sorts in the rock? We have only just started getting into fossils so any guidance as to identify this would be appreciated, even if it turns out just to be a cool shaped rock. thanks :)

Not a bone I'm afraid. I think it's a piece of Thalassinoides - a trace fossil burrow. There's a bed of them there, at the base of the white chalk where it overlies the red.
