Hello everyone, I just arrived in Lyme Regis yesterday and decided to go fossil hunting straight away. I am very much a beginner and have only looked for fossils once before in a limestone quarry in Germany which was very different to a beach. After about 3 hours of little success I picked up this bone on my way back, it must've just been washed up as the tide was going down and it was still in the water. Is there any chance this could be a fossil? How can I tell if it's a fossil or just a regular bone from a recently dead animal? I also took some other things with me that I'm not sure are fossils - any pointers as to if they are trash or treasure would be much appreciated. I know there are at least two ammonite fragments in there though. Lastly, a question for the geologists: I was wondering if anyone knows about the reddish partly translucent rocks found in the area? Looks to me like some kind of agate perhaps?

Ok, so all I got is that I'm waiting for it to say feed me Seymour. Whatever it is, I love it. I apologize for the penny for size, but it's in a large "boulder" (about 40 lbs, maybe the size of a large watermelon) of mother of pearl looking stuff and is hard to access. Has lots of neat little critters in lots of nooks and boreholes. Anyway, not sure if this is anything. Its convex, and spongy feeling, kind of like stiff crepe paper. Y'all seem to have a whole lotta knowledge, thanks for letting me tap it.

Does anyone know if this is a fossil or whether it is a modern species? I found it searching through a road cut near Roscoe, NY but it looks too good to be old. It was a surface find but in a pile of Dovian age rock.
