Al Dente Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It is an internal cast of a sea urchin. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I agree with Al Dente, a regular echinoid. It seems to be in flint (which you'd expect in SE England) which will be from the Upper Cretaceous, roughly 70-100million years. 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I agree, echnoid.

shaneomeara Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Great to hear, thanks! I'm back at the area and finding all kinds of bizarre things. Not sure if these are anything but thought I'd share also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Most of those look like corals to me, maybe people better than myself can do better. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 They're flint nodules. The first one may contain one or two sponges, the others are probably deposited along branching arthropod burrows. 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
