FunkyMonkey Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hi all, While sifting for sharks teeth in the pebbles we came across these different looking ‘stones’. The top and bottom specimens are the ones we are questioning. Stones? Seeds? Scute? (Top one). Any help would be welcomed. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmoceras Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The top item is a seed, not sure about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonkey Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks @Kosmoceras that is very helpful. Ive been looking through my copy of ‘London Clay Fossils of Kent and Essex’ and it seems very similar to palaeophytocrene foveolata. Could that be near the mark?

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think at least the top one and the bottom one are seeds from the London Clay. The first once could be Palaeophytocrene, the other i'm not sure, may just be eroded layers of the sediment. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonkey Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks @Tidgy's Dad. Even if the bottom one does turn out to be an eroded stone, its a nice tactile object worthy of keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
