thatFossilGuy36 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I recently went to the Isle of Wight and when I was hunting at Yarmouth beach, I found this on the foreshore amongst the pebbles. The imprint is about 1cm long. Any help you can give would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I'm afraid you'll have to put that object better into focus. Can't see any details on it, so it could just be part of a little concretion.

Mark Kmiecik Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 It does have a fossil appearance to it, but better photos are definitely necessary for any attempt at ID. Including all other sides of the specimen. Remember, you have it in hand -- we're working from photos, without a net. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

JohnBrewer Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Is it shiny? I’ve found gar fish scales there. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I don't see anything that says fossil to me, but I'm not familiar with what is commonly found at that location. It does not appear to be an "imprint" as opposed to the actual object. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

thatFossilGuy36 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 This is the closest picture I can get while still in focus. It isn’t shiny, just dull black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
