Raggedy Man Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Geode with druzy quartz Possible shark vertebrae or possibly concretion Last picture is a brachiopod. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I like the line of crystals following the siphuncle on your cephalopod. Here's a pic from a friends collection of Eutrephoceras preserved the same way. Also like your clam (pelecypod). that's very nice preservation. What is the age of the beds you're collecting in? the vert looks a bit like ichthyosaur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 guess it could be an ichthyosaur vert then. Still guessing on this one of course. Pretty certain on the clam and nautiloid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmoceras Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 1/2/3: I can’t tell, could be wood, could be bone 4/4/6: Ichthyosaur vertebra 7/8/9: Looks like a partial Nautilus 10/11/12: A bivalve, Plagiostoma giganteum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taogan Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I agree with Kosmoceras, but I am a little bit more inclined towards the first bit being a chunk of bone. I used to collect at Lavernock when I lived in Cardiff and I never found wood, only bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
