LiamL Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hey all, i found this in shale matrix near Whitby in England. Guessing it’s ichthyosaur but does anybody know what type of bone it is? Wish more was preserved in the area i found it haha Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Liam, Are there any crustaceans found there? This looks like arthropod shell, rather than bone, to me. Hope you don't mind, I've cropped and contrasted your photo a bit. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
