Hi everyone! 

Can anyone help, my son found this on a beach in the North East and would love to know what it is?

Looks like shell fragments in typical Early Jurassic limestone of the area but could easily be Early Carboniferous also. 

The main piece is broken and rather eroded but it seems to be a piece of either a bivalve or brachiopod.

I think the last one may be a vertical view of a bellerophontid (or planispiral gastropod) - quite often seen in Lower Carboniferous erratics from around there.
