Fossils you’ve collected compared with museum fossils is a fun way to research what you have found. I'm almost certain I have a classic Raphidonema contortum sponge I collected from Farringdon gravel beds in Berkshire UK. My sponge has the rule for scale, the other two are one of many Farringdon sponges on display at the wonderful Oxford University Museum of Natural History

The only certainty with fossil hunting is the uncertainty.
