One hour in the Oxford Clay

[Ossicle]

It was raining this morning, so my best site was near Yaxley. The fossils really pop there when wet. In one hour of searching I had 13 fragments of ammonite. I thought it was 14, but when washing them realised one was a miffed snail, who is now in the garden. Mostly the ammonites are pyratised, and preserve sutures and ornamentation well.

I found 8 crinoid sections, including round ossicles - I normally only find star shaped ones.

Pretty good for an hour's work.

I was very lucky, the vegetation has started to die back and expose the fossils, and it was just the right amount of rain. Much more and I would have been stuck in the mud, as it was, just enough to make fossils glisten. And snails

Nice finds!

Great results for a few hours stuck in the mud! Thanks for sharing.

You normally find star-shaped crinoid ossicles and a round one is unique?

I normally find round-shaped crinoid columnals and anything star-shaped would be an amazing find for me!

Congrats on the nice assortment of invert fossils!
