Hello, I went fossil hunting in Essex with a friend, looking for shark teeth in the London Clay, and came across this red shark tooth. I have searched the internet, but no such thing has been found in the UK, or at least posted online. I have seen red shark teeth from the US, in iron rich zone, which could justify the red colour. Can anyone help me identify this. Also I have found small nodules with various pieces, is this a fossil of something or just a non-fossiliferous nodule? I have found crabs in the phospatic nodules before, but this is the first time I come across these. Just joined the forum although been fossil hunting for year. Looking forward to being part of this community. Thuvi

Hello all. I have this one shark tooth from the London clay and I’m really stuck on its identity. I’ve already ruled out Striatolamia due to the lack of lingual folding and shape of the cusplets. The only two options I have are Hypotodus verticalis and Glueckmanotodus heinzelini, but it has features of both and also has features that both do not present. It’s from the London Clay formation at Walton-on-the-Naze, UK. The age is early Eocene (Ypresian). Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I recently visited Bawdsey, UK. I found this footprint-like object and was wondering what it could be? There is an almost scale-like pattern at the bottom of it. I found loose amongst other rocks and the Eocene London Clay is exposed at Bawdsey. The footprint-like depression is 5cm across. Thank you.

Hello, I've recently collected some fossil wood from the London Clay. However, I have heard that it is prone to pyrite 'disease'. I've cleaned the wood with water, and plan to keep them with packets of silica gel to reduce humidity. Will this be enough to prevent pyrite oxidation occuring? I've just attached some photos of some of the wood that it can be seen on. There is also this white-coloured material on this bone. Is that anything to be concerned about? Many thanks
