Bones2407 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hiya. Wondering is anyone able to help a novice fossil hunter! I've been looking at lavernock point again in South Wales. Found this (what I assume is a type of fossil) embedded in a stone. Looks different to the usual amonite fragments, bivale/shell ones we usually find. Wondering if anyone could help identify it please xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I am thinking it is a barnacle shell bit, but not sure. Can You post a picture of the end? What is the size?

caldigger Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think you might have found a bit of Hydodus spine ( Humped tooth shark) The one pictured is from Avon, UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your probably right it is a shell as there a so many of them there, just not seen one like that before. It won't let me upload any more pics x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones2407 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Caldigger that is pretty cool if it was something like that. I thought it looked more bone like compared to the shell fossils we normally find. Avon is only across the water from whrre we were too.
