TomWhite Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 My friend found this in the Red Crag at Bawdsey, Suffolk, unfortunately it fell apart upon retrieval. Is it a large fish Vertebra? Also found what looks like a small partial Meg down on the shingle, as well as a few other smaller teeth. I have also included a tooth that i found that is partially enclosed in rock, i have never found another like this. Any ideas on how it came to be?

ynot Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 First is a fragment of a shark tooth, not sure of the meg ID. Next is a fish vert. The last item looks like a scale weight. Is it magnetic? 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.

Kosmoceras Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 You’re right on the vertebra. The partial tooth is Cosmopolitodus hastalis, and the other object is also a tooth, but with the root encased in a phosphatic nodule. They turn up quite often preserved like that in the Crag. Nice finds all round. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
