Chris123 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I took my 3y/o son to look for fossils and found these items at Barton-on-Sea and am wondering what they are. I think the one on the right is a Ray tooth? This was from an imported rock to make the sea defences rather than in the substrate. The top one may even be plastic! http://s21.postimg.org/fpvk4syvr/image.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taogan Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) 2 gastropod fragments and a suggestive stone. The fragments are probably broken fossils. Edited January 29, 2015 by Taogan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The "ray tooth" on the right seems to made of calcite and looks like a bit of echinoderm, maybe echinoid fragment? Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clementine Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The top 2 fragments look like they belong to the Volute family & are quite common in the Barton area. Im headed there next week to collect Athleta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
