Auspex Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 These look like Belemnites: You'll get a lot more responses if you attach the images to the Forum, instead of an off-site host. Just crop & reduce them to about 50%. Giving the size of the objects will help, too.

Just crop & reduce them to about 50%. Giving the size of the objects will help, too. How do you upload images please? I am unfamiliar with this forum and it does not appear obvious how to do it. Thanks. I have tried to create an album and it won't let me, and there only appears to be a URL link, which won't accept the DB URL. Thank you for confirmation of Belemnites.

Auspex Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Belemnites lived from the Lower Jurassic to the Upper Cretaceous; I think the sites you've mentioned are Cretaceous.

TqB Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The belemnites are almost certainly local Upper Cretaceous ones (the orange colour is characteristic) although glacial erratics are possible - specimen 29 is a Carboniferous coral from the north, Siphonodendron sp. 31 appears to be man made, perhaps pottery. 7 is banded flint, not a fossil but an interesting subject in itself. 18 looks like a sponge in flint.

abyssunder Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I agree with the others. 29 could be Siphonodendron sp. or Syringopora sp. , there is no scale to compare.

Hi Abyssunder! - if you look closely, it has horizontal tabulae and columella so will be Siphonodendron. Also seems to have no dissepiments so is probably S. junceum - as you say, it needs a scale to be sure. Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhw Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I see mostly rocks. The cone shaped items do appear to be belemnites. #30 looks to be a bivalve imprint of some sort. I'd make #31 the very worn inner threads of a ceramic telephone or power line insulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Russell Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 #31 reminds me of a very water worn cephalopod. Finding my way through life; one fossil at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
