The dense bone, with a heavier than usual specific gravity to what you would expect from a bone. It was found at 0.5m below ground level within weathered Langport Member, Blue Lias Formation and Charmouth Mudstone Formation.

Partial Ichthyosaur spine collected from Watchet, Somerset
Aman posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
A series of articulated Ichthyosaur vertebrae collected from a shale block at Warren Bay just west of Watchet, Somerset. This was by best find from the trip and I did not expect to find something this good on my first visit to this locality. upon closer examination, I also discovered that there was more bone hidden within the shale, so hopefully I can remove the matrix and expose it. First, though, I'm going to have to make sure that pyrite decay doesn't set in.- 6 replies

Hi everyone, I found this near Hinckley Point, Somerset. Anyone have an idea what it may be? I thought the texture looked a bit like the inside of a bone. Thanks, Kieran

Just spotted this on the beach, thinking it looks like ichthyosaur shoulder bone or something, don’t want to carry it if it’s just a lump of wood though. What are your thoughts? Already seen a rib in one boulder, a vert in another and collected a piece of possible jaw and another bone. Thanks for looking. IMG_1730.MOV

My daughter just picked up this unusual looking nodule on the beach at Lilstock, it split quite easily to expose a tooth shaped item. Could it be a tooth or perhaps some kind of shell? Thanks for looking

Trying to identify Jurassic or Triassic fossil from Somerset UKSomerset
Martin_the_paeleo posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, I am trying to identify this fossil from a photo taken at Blue Anchor, Somerset. It shod be Triassic or Jurassic. At first I thought it might be a marine creature but it, doesn't look like a skeleton, so I thought possibly a large plant? It is perhaps 0.5 to 0.75 metres across. Many thanks.- 5 replies

Thanks beforehand. My young granddaughters (8 and 5 yo) have went fossil hunting in their backyard around Lake Cumberland in Kentucky and as I am not experienced in identification and cleaning techniques I appreciate all help given to identify several examples of what we collected.

I recently bought a bit of a job lot of things online just to get an ichthyosaur tooth for my daughter’s collection. Along with the tooth, an ichthyosaur bone and some acrodus teeth was this. The seller stated that it is from the Rhaetic bone bed in Somerset and is triassic. It looks a lot like the other ichthyosaur bone in the lot, but is anyone able to identify it? Thank you for looking

Ok first off this "65 million year old" fossil that comes from the "Jurassic" period just shows how ignorant the author is. I had trouble reading any more, but I had no trouble enjoying the pictures of the fossil icthyosaur. https://news.google.com/articles/CAIiEIJqm_wITm06zKsQ0oo0ZOUqGQgEKhAIACoHCAowzuOICzCZ4ocDMPX1qQY?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

Just now getting into fossils with my 6 year old son. He is enthusiastic and excited, but finding I am surprised as to how much I am enjoying myself as well. I've always found fossils interesting but never really invested any time in learning more about them. Not many discoveries yet but still searching my area and looking online for information of locations in KY. Planning a trip to Tampa next week and hoping to check out Venice Beach or Peace River although I am reading that this is not a good time of the year for Peace River. Will try and upload a few pics of what we have found so far in a few days and i will have a few questions which sadly will have probably been asked before. Go easy on me.
