First fossil finds - The Warren, Folkestone - Need help ID’ing


CrazyDrain

Recommended Posts

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!

The majority of the things you are showings us are various bits and imprints of ammonites. The last 2 appear to be just rocks.

Now I can understand @Coco better when Americans use coins to show size. 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?

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:)

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!

Thanks! We all get in situations where a measuring device is not readily accessible. 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.

I suppose it is Queen Elizabeth (Folkestone = Kend, England) :Wink1:

Please have a look on my signature. And you can even laminate the paper after printing to win in the field !

That's captain @Darktooth's fault of course, blasted Pirate who wants us to find Doren's treasure for him !

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.
