afennah Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hello, I recently went fossil hunting at Cayton Bay near Scarborough, UK (Part of the Jurassic Coast). I found this (see attached Photos) and was wondering what it might be? The two photos show the fossil from different angles. Any help you could give would be much appreciated. Best regards, Alan.

Tidgy's Dad Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 One of the oyster family. I would suggest Lopha and tentatively Lopha gregaria. Nice find. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
