zarrad Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I have come across these 2 fossils whilst digging a trench in work, I'd be grateful if anyone has any information for me, these where in the same rock/stone. Thanks Also I'll get better photos when home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The one on the left is an oyster. Something in the Gryphaeidae family I think. The other looks like a tooth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarrad Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Thanks, I was thinking some sort of tooth or claw, im going to clean them up and get some good photos all round, hopefully someone might know where the tooth has come from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahnmut Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Welcome to the forum! Could the toothlike item be an orthocone cephalopod? Clearer Photos will tell. Nice finds anyway!
