Rory Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Found this fragment from Whitby area, at first I thought it was a flattened belamnite but wonder if it's in fact a tooth. Any ideas? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Can we see the ends and the other side please. And a close up if possible. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm fairly sure belemnite is right but agree that end views should help confirm that. 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snafu of some kind but it can be overcome with reload.

Innocentx Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 @Rory. These are pretty good photos. Could you do the ends too? Looking for indications of baculite, what do you see?

TqB Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It's the crushed alveolar end of a belemnite rostrum. (From this area, it'll be Lower Jurassic, Toarcian or possibly Pliensbachian so no heteromorph ammonites like Baculites here! ) 3 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Tarquin beat me to it. I agree with him completely. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
