Rockwood Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 If it ever was it's so badly preserved as to be nearly unrecognizable now. The area to the left in the first photo is difficult to dismiss completely though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Looks like an ironstone concretion to me, they are pretty common there and have fooled me many times... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostbyteFossils Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 So where abouts on Beaumaris are these fossils supposed to be? I found no signs of any near the yacht club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found no signs of any near the yacht club. Anywhere along the beach there. To both sides of the club. The iron concretions mean you were in the right area. Surely you found some Lovenia? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I agree with iron oxide concretion. Here's an example from Tibooburra-Milparinka region in northwest New South Wales. 3 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Connah Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi @FrostbyteFossils, @Foozil is correct in calling out iron stone here. Keep looking though & you'll eventually find something less stoney. Connah 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
