I've been out collecting a few times recently, but sadly, I haven't had the time to show the results of my trips...

Here's a few finds I've made over the past few months from Charmouth, Dorset, England. These finds were made over three trips, and two of the trips were with fellow member Josh Macefield - I am hoping he will weigh in with his finds too.

If you have any questions, or would like more information, close ups or anything else, please do ask! :) Thanks for looking.

All the best,

Hi Joe,

That's a nice selection of finds you have there...in the Fourth photo the greyish bone 1st from the left has a distinctive look to it do you any thoughts about it.

The only certainty with fossil hunting is the uncertainty.

Thanks all; I appreciate your comments.

Darren, yes, I forgot to mention - I shall add clearer photos, but I think it's an Ichthyosaur basioccipital bone, but I don't know much about marine reptiles. Do you think this is a possibility?

Kind regards,

Joe

Hi Joe,

I'm pretty sure your correct in saying basioccipital , I've some similar pieces of about the same size and appearance if you need a comparison.
