abyssunder Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 You can label this one as Teredolites. Nice find, BTW ! 3 " 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.

siteseer Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 As far as I know, fossils found at Beltinge come from the Woolwich Bottom Beds which are late Paleocene in age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
