Southwestsea Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hello, please excuse my lack of knowledge in this area. This is the first time we’ve ever hunted for fossils and while we have collected a lot of lovely ones we can identify, these we’re not sure of. they were found at charmouth and seatown in the U.K. we’ve started trying to use an engraver on the stone, we’re guessing ammonite?

dhiggi Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 That does look like an ammonite in the pale rock, but even if you manage to prep it out it looks like part of it has been worn away. Top right looks like a nice pair of vertebrae, possibly ichthyosaur; nice find! Not sure about the other two Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Southwestsea Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thanks for such a speedy reply! Ok will bare that in mind when I carry on with the pale rock. We have a lovely ammonite already so this one is more of an experiment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A rotary tool such as a Dremel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pterygotus Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Ichtyhosaur verts, ammonite, pyrite and unsure bottom left Quote Link to post Share on other sites
