I don't think Acervularia occurs outside of the Silurian in the UK. This is Phillipsastrea, I think, but Tarquin will Know.. @TqB

And I loved your tribute to Doren.

Hi Bobby! Acervularia and its family are exclusively Silurian. As @Tidgy's Dad said, Phillipsastraea is a very good possibility but I think you need sections to be sure. (I'm not suggesting it for this lovely specimen!).

Jurassic Ammonite from Ravenscar , North Yorkshire, England Grammoceras maybe thouarense but I am not sure. Very neat but small specimen. 

[Bobby Rico]

From a car boot sale ( in the U.K. a car boot is a Sunday morning pastime . Where people park their cars in a field and sale stuff from the boot of the car that most of the time nobody in their right mind would want to purchase and take home ) . I did however get this Calamites or giant horsetail. Unknown location ( probably from Yorkshire as that was where the boot sale was) but a nice piece that cost next to nothing ,

[Paleorunner]

Oh, wow !! What a good bargain. 

[Bobby Rico]

Sorry that my thread is a little slow. We are decorating so more than half my collection is boxed. I used call these ‘Tuning Folk Graptolite’  . We don’t see enough Graptolite on TFF. 
I imagine the ID is wrong. 
Didymograptis murchisoni sp

Ordovician ( Llanvirn Series)

Abereiddi Bay, Dyfed, S Wales.

I agree, we need more graptolite posts. 

Yes, this is the classic tuning fork graptolite Didymograptus murchisoni. I don't think that the name has changed. 

And it's Welsh, so it's got to be good. Tuning forks are very useful for all the male voice choirs. in The Valleys.

Cheers Adam I found this in the early 90s so I thought it may have changed. 
 

They do like to belt out a song in them hills and valleys.

MrsR got me this bug for my birthday this year ( she got a trilobite guy) . It is a beauty.

Calymenid Trilobite ,

Nesuretus tristani from Portugal. Really good preservation, and showing the typical lateral compression . Definately a display piece.

Again sorry if this thread is slowing down, i am still decorating but slowly getting our house sorted.
