Mctapmonkey Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 This came from Swanage beach, Dorset.(heading east toward the Old Harry Rocks) It looks to me like a very big gryphia at about 15cm long. Does anyone have any alternative ideas or more knowledge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TqB Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 That's a nautiloid, in what looks like Cretaceous Greensand. Much better find than a Gryphaea (with apologies to oyster enthusiasts...). Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 It is a nautiloid, probably Cenoceras. Another good find. Edit : I think the greensand id is correct so it's not Cenoceras. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Adam! -hard (impossible?) to ID without its shell - Eutrephoceras or Cymatoceras? Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
