LiamL Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Unsure about this one also, found another similar but left it on the beach. Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The first one is a strongly pyritized ammonite sitting on a pyrite concretion. The second one looks geological. I can't see anything obviously fossiliferous about it. It looks like a water worn block composed of various sediments. 5 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Miocene_Mason Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I agree with @Ludwigia completely. “...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...
abyssunder Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I agree with Roger. The first one is a nicely pyritized ammonite. The second one is a flint nodule (glacial erratic). I would like to compare with grey flint. comparative picture from here " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
