Lyme Regis Trip

[TomWhite]

Firstly apologies for the lateness of this post, spent a week down in Lyme Regis from the 17th of December. 

Was out most evenings and some mornings due to the tide times, however i found hunting at night just as productive and with a lot less competition! The weather had been incredibly rough and was a bit unsettling at night when you could hear parts of the cliff falling down! 

 

The first few nights i mainly found ammonites and a few pieces of rolled bone (no photos of these, can put some up if anyone wishes me too)

 

 

 

 

Best find was a partial ichthyosaur rostrum from below the Black Ven. Unfortunately no teeth and it has been very well rolled! None the less i was most pleased to find it.

 

Found a couple more nice sized ammonites covered in pyrite and one well worn vertebra. See attached images. If anyone would like anymore photos please do not hesitate to ask.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All in all a good week. Thanks for reading.

Could you post some close-up photos of the ichy jaw? Looks like fossil wood to me from those pics.
