Pemphix Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Which strata, which region, what do you expect this should be and why ? And yes, better photos would be nice, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taogan Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Clearer pictures, something to give the scale and a more exact location might help. At the moment I can't see what this might be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 They do not look like vertebrae, to me, if that was what you were thinking. They don't appear to have any bone texture or morphology.

GeschWhat Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 As mentioned before, the location is important. Can we also see a close up of some of the fractured end? Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I suppose, the original poster is referring to belemnite "spine" (belemnite rostrum) fragments.

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I can't see any sign of the typical calcite banding of a belemnite guard. Close up pictures of the specimens and their ends would be useful. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiexlester Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 hi all, ah ok sorry... getting carried away! bare with me i'm a complete novice....how to explain this without sounding reallllllly stupid! Found in a huge chunk of the harder, dryer, clay on Seatown beach, Dorset UK. Also found in the same block were ammonites and belamites. I'll sort some better photos! standby.....

angiexlester Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 They were each placed in the clay separate from each other and didn't look like any broken belamite i've come across previously. My initial impression (and wish!!) was a spinal column of some creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you reduce the picture size to less than 1 MB it should work. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBrewer Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Seatown is good for belemnites and ones I’ve found there can be pretty fragile. Better pics are needed tho. @TqB John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 An elongated concretion I think. I can't see any belemnite structure in the photo - I've collected some of the ones @JohnBrewer means. Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
