MartynH Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hi My wife and I found these three fossils yesterday at Thorness Bay on the Isle of Wight. They were beach finds rather than in situ but the rocks there are Bembridge Limestone and the Bembridge Marls of Eocene age (and pre Grande Coupure so older than 34ma). I think that A and B are mammal calcaneum but am not sure of species (or even if it is possible to identify to that level from the bones I have) - Any suggestions to help with identification or sources I could use to identify would be very much appreciated. Item 3 is a mammal jaw, I think a left mandible, I am pretty sure that it is from a Plagiolophus (major as it is quite large) but again would appreciate confirmation or knowledge of a good source for ID's as what I have access too is quite limited for identification purposes. Thanks in advance Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
