CrazyDrain Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Hi Everyone, Hoping to have some help finding out what these are (appreciate that some these will probably just be some random rock or stone). First picture is just the results from a couple of times going around the rocks or beach at the Warren, Folkestone which I don’t think is terrible for not really knowing what we are doing! The up close ones i’m not entirely sure what they are if anything at all! Also for reference thats a 2p coin don’t think that its obvious to see. any thing else can help you help me let me know and thank you in advance! Pic 2/3 are the same one just different sides. Pic 5/6 are also the same just different sides. thinking probably just a stone but no idea: Also appreciate this one is almost certainly a rock - but my daughter (5) is adamant its something so posting just to confirm if it i!

Ludwigia Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 The majority of the things you are showings us are various bits and imprints of ammonites. The last 2 appear to be just rocks.

Seeing that this is your first post, I debated "criticizing" your pictures. But in hopes you stick around and continue to show us your finds, it is best that a type of measuring device in centimeters or inches be used to indicate size. Otherwise, @ludwigia is our ammonite expert and feel he has given a valid description of your specimens. Hope to see more finds in the future!!!! By the way, what coin is that? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I agree, whith @Ludwigia, you have various bits and imprints of ammonites and also two gastropods on the first photo. I also agree with @minnbuckeye, i don't know what size are the US coins "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

CrazyDrain Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Thanks both appreciate it! yeah I also appreciate the photo quality isn't the best and in future will take more time to better capture them with the lightening etc. I couldn't find a ruler and ended up giving up and using a coin but will look to have a better concept for measurement in my future posts! We're going again next weekend so depending on what we find next week I may be posting again! Its a 2 pence coin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So coins are are good secondary choice. If needing to use a coin, stating its rough size (Diameter: 2.5 cm for a 2 pence) is helpful to those who are unfamiliar with the coin.

Euhoplites Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The fifth ammonite from the upper left is a douveilliceras. Rather uncommon from the lower gault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Cole Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Sixth picture looks like an impression fossil. A close-up photo that provides more detail would probably be helpful to those who are familiar with this age of fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
