Koss1959 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 All found by me, none were prepped by me though. Xipheroceras with Promicroceras, Asteroceras and Cymbites ammonites My first ever Ichthyosaur vert and one of the best preserved ones I have This is the internal structure of a Loligosepia Bucklandi, a type of vampyromorph coleoid A double Caenisites. One of my favourite fossils. A naturally red ichthyosaur vert. Never seen one like this. This is the only fossil I've bought. My first decent ammonite, an Asteroceras. My rarest fossil by a long shot. A pliosauromorph plesiosaur basicranium. That's just a few of my favourites. All are from Lyme Regis and are early Jurassic in age. 1 Etsy shop for Dinosaur Art: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/IzzyBeeCreates?ref=seller-platform-mcnav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koss1959 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) This is a reindeer metatarsal. Approximately 35,000 years old. Also from Lyme Regis. A couple more Caenisites This is part of a plesiosaur humerus I believe. And this was my first plesiosaur vert.

FossilDAWG Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Really nice! It must be great to live close to such an amazing fossil site. BTW your second-last photo is the same as the last photo. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koss1959 Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thanks, sorted it. Yes, I moved here last year just for the fossil hunting. It's such a nice place. It's easy to take it for granted.

Pagurus Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thanks for posting these. I just re-connected with fossil hunting a few years ago because of a fictional book about Mary Anning of Lyme Regis. That Loligosepia bucklandi you posted reminded me of William Buckland, who described the species after it was found by Anning. I think he also coined the term "coprolite". I only have one tiny ammonite from Lyme Regis in my small collection but someday with a little luck maybe I'll get to visit there myself. It's high on my list. Thanks again for sharing your collection. Mike 1 Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koss1959 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them. I have plenty other "every day" kind of finds that aren't anything special, but these are just some of my favourite ones.

Ridgehiker Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Excellent. Thanks for sharing. My mother is from London and when we first visited the UK (I was 13) I had a wish list of things to see...Natural History Museum, Stonehenge, Greenwich Observatory, Tower of London...and... Lyme Regis! Lyme Regis and the coast was a hundred times better than expected. One of the best days of my youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koss1959 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Been a while since I've added anything. Got a few really nice pieces coming back from prep soon. Here's a few new additions. Xipheroceras A few perfect ichthyosaur vertebrae One of my favourite fossils, a very rare Apoderoceras This needs cleaning, but I'm pretty sure it's another Apo.

Troodon Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The Apoderoceras is stunning, hope your new one turns out just as nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koss1959 Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Thanks very much. If anything, it should be quite a bit better. The prepped one is just the front. The back is pretty much entirely worn through. Luckily the front is perfect. This new one has rock on both sides, so I'm thinking of getting it cleaned both sides. Pricey, but it'll make it quite a special fossil.
