  1. Hi all, got some ammonites here that I desperately need help identifying! They are all from Folkestone, Kent from the Gault Clay of the lower cretaceous. There are also a few gastropods that I can't ID either. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Bone fragment or funny rock

    This was found by my partner loose on the foreshore at Folkestone (UK), near Copt Point. Presumed geological strata is Cretaceous - Middle/Early Albian. I've very little experience with fossilized bones I'm afraid and suspect this is just a rock formation, but figured it was worth a check just in case

    Recent Folkestone Fossil Trip

    Hi All, Thanks for having me here. Me and my girlfriend have recently discovered an interest in looking for fossils. Luckily for us, we have spent some time in Folkestone, England which we have discovered is pretty full of fossils in the right place. The below are a couple of finds from one afternoon down at Copt point while we were walking the dog. Any extra information about what we found would be very much appreciated. My uneducated guess is that all are ammonites except for the two specimens at the bottom, which I am completely unsure of. They all came out of a gault clay slump right where the sea meets the cliff. Is the bottom right a bone fragment? Just a rock? Again, any help is appreciated. From research the gault clay and underlying greensand is around 110 myo. Many thanks, Sam & Ro

    Trip to Folkestone

    Went to Folkestone (Early Cretaceous, Albian) for the second time a couple of weeks ago. Last time I mostly climbed among the big rocks looking in the gaps for fossils but this time due to some poor navigating we accessed the beach from the opposite end this time around. This turned out well though as this stretch of beach has few of those big rocks but good access to the cliffs and slumps. We ended up spending most of the trip picking through the cliff base and fresh fall. This produced some nice ammonites, though it was still difficult to find whole ammonites as is the case with this location. We also found some nice gastropods well preserved, though very delicate, in the clay, as well as belemnites, bivalves and lots of ammonite fragments. My favourite find is the Eutrephoceras clementinum nautilus as I believe they are fairly rare and the colours on it are great. Also the Euhoplites proboscideus is a lovely shade and nicely detailed (Good find boyfriend). ID's are somewhat tentative so if you have any suggestions I'd be grateful. ??

    Pleistocene Folkestone fossils

    Hi guys hope the photos are all right, I was wondering if anyone could help me ID these fossils, also does anyone know about the nature of the Pleistocene deposits there thanks again, will 1.bovid? 2 looks almost like lama 3.bovid? 4.bovid again? 5.lamna again? 6.horse 7.bovid x2?
  7. Hi there - I've been ploughing through the web trying to identify these recent finds on a fossiling trip to Folkestone, but sadly without success. If anyone could help me identify them that would be very much appreciated. Image 1 (specimen approx 2.5 cm long) Image 2 (specimen approx 2.5 cm across) Image 3: (largest specimen 6 cm long) Thank you!
  8. I found this fossil / mineral over at Folkestone, and would really appreciate any help in identifying it. It looks like it could be part of a larger organism, but also appears rather crystalline in shape. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
  9. I've just come back from a lovely fossil hunting trip in Folkestone! Here's what we found *unpreped* in 3 hours: Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, i'll post more photos when they're clean!
  10. Found these 2 in the gault clay of Folkestone UK and after a while of looking online I'm stumped. they look like ammonite fragments but the preservation isn't great.

    Our fossil hunting holiday trip

    Natalie81 and I are back from our fossil hunting holiday. On the 20th of july we left for a long camping and fossil hunting week in the UK, we took the ferry in Calais to Dover, drove to Porthsmouth and the 2nd ferry to our 1st stop: 5 days on the Isle of wight. the 1st day on the Island, we prospected the beaches on the the south west of the isle where the Wealden cliffs could deliver some dinosaur remains.We had no luck this time. the 2nd day we went to the southern part of the Island where we could find some cenomanian ammonites in the chalk. This time we had better luck, and we found lots of them and even a few nautiluses. There was a sealion in the water not far from where we were prospecting, but since it was yawning a lot I don't think he was very interested in our activities Day 3 was a stop in Yaverland, here we found some hybodont remains and a possible pterosaur tooth ( we will know for sure after the prep ), in the afternoon we went a bit further to Whiteclif bay where we found a few echinoids. Day 4 Back to those Wealden cliffs in search for dinosaur material, again in vain, but we did se al those impresive Iguanodon foottracks at Hanover point. later on the day we tried to find the lobster bed near Atherfield, but only a few parts were accesible, but I found a nice big lobster in situ, it came out in a few pieces. I had super glue in my backpack, so I glued the parts back together and stuffed the fossil safely away in a box with soft paper. It is still in that box now, so I hope it wil still be ok when I start prepping it. Day 5: we had a meetup with a local colector to prospect the beaches on the north of the island, those were Oligocene deposits and we did find a lot of turtle fragments, a few croc scutes and even a few croc teeth Day 6: we had our ferry back to the mainland of the UK, from there we drove further to the jurassic coast. In the afternoon we went on the Beach between Dorset and Lyme Regis, but the beaches were full of tourists looking for fossils, so the finds were poor. Day 7: we visited Eype, and Golden cap, not far from Dorset, again verry few finds due to overprospected beaches, but we did find a decent ammonite. In the evening We visited the town of Lyme Regis and the birthplace of Mary Anning Day 8: this time e went east of Dorset, still very few fossils to be seen, but still multiple good belemnites , some of them still in the matrix. Day 9: time to pack the tent and drive back to Dover, we still had time before taking our ferry back to France so we did a quick stop in Folkestone. 2 hours of prospecting in the gault clay did deliver 2 decent ammonites and lots of ammonite fragments, belemnites and inoceramus shells. I didnt take a lot of pictures of the fossils we found yet, but we took a few ones in the field. more pictures will follow when we start unpacking and prepping the fossils from this week. Shipping to Dover: vieuw on the camping from Wight: of to the beach: no fossils to be seen Lots of beach to prospect: Still looking for bone in the shingle: sunset on Wight: to the cenomanian chalk: ammonites the Sealion: possible pterosaur tooth: footprints Oligoceene deposits: A vieuw on Wight before we leave: Dorset and Lyme regis: Ammonites everywhere Mary Anning:

    Trip to Folkestone

    Hi all, went to Folkestone, Kent a few weeks ago for the first time and came back with a pretty decent haul of ammonites (a lot of fragments and a fair few completes) as well as bivalves and gastropods. I think some of my finds are pretty cool so thought I'd share them with you all. I'll include my IDs but please bear with me as I am quite new to this and have certainly got some (if not most) of them wrong - so please chime in with suggestions and answers! all are from the Gault Clay, early cretaceous (Albian).anahoplites sp.anahoplites sp.no idea what these two are, as you can see they are very squashed and thin. Euhoplites sp.Eoscaphites subcircularis
  13. Hi all, I found this scaly looking rock at Folkestone, UK. Looks to be from the greensand. Any guesses as to what it could be? Thanks. Jay

    Tooth? From Folkestone UK

    Hi guys, I found this along with a lot of belemnites at Folkestone Warren, UK. It looks like some sort of tooth but I'm not sure. It measures 1.2cm/0.5" long and has an almost rectangular cross section. Any ideas? Jay
  15. Hi all, I found these rocks around Copt Point at Folkestone, UK and was wondering what they could be. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jay
