Just come back from a fun trip to look for fossils in/around Whitby, and have a couple of finds I'm not 100% on. 1. I suspect this is a vertebra: 2. bones of some description, perhaps including some teeth? Thanks

Found what looks like to me like a tail of some crustacean in Saltwick Bay a few years ago. It's about 3 inches long, and the surface detail is incredibly well preserved. Was wondering if anyone has found anything similar, or knows what kind of crustacean it could have come from?

Another find from Saltwick Bay, this time very recent. I'm guessing that the main chunk is fossilised wood of some sort, but I'm stumped by the small (~1cm diameter) patch of pyrite that exhibits very regular dimples (see images 1 & 2). Any ideas?

Hello, I found these pieces a few weeks ago at Saltwick Bay in Yorkshire. The first one is obviously bone and I assume its ichthyosaur, but bone isn't really my forte so I hope that someone else may be able to confirm this or provide an ID. It also has a kind of stone cap on the flat end, anyone got ideas on how to remove that? The second piece I'm not too sure about. The shape is suggestive to me and there are bits that seem somewhat bony in texture, but as I said, I'm not sure. Thanks

Hi guys, I’ve done a bit of prepping of this ammonite I found in Salwick Bay, Yorkshire a few weeks ago and have no idea what it is. There are two obvious tubercles and there may have been more but as you can see it isn’t in great shape..

Me and my boyfriend made the drive to Whitby yesterday for the first time. We spent about 3 hours fossil hunting at Saltwick Bay. We made some nice finds but we only found one of the really nice Whitby ammonites at the end of the trip which is the main reason I wanted to go to Whitby. There were plenty of ammonite fragments about but we struggled to find the famed ammonite bearing nodules (though we did pick up a few small and low quality ones, will need prep and not worth posting here). We did pick up a couple of shale plates with some nice bivalves and flattened ammonites. I did however find a sizeable chunk of bone (which I’m presuming is Icthyosaur - input welcome) which I am chuffed to bits with. In terms of prep/preservation I’ll be soaking them all for a couple of days to draw the salt out but I’m a bit nervous about the shale plates. I’ve heard of people applying paraloid but I have never used it and we don’t have much ventilation in our small flat so if any anyone has any advice I will gladly listen! No clue what this is in the town of Whitby

Found these 2 pieces of rock next to each other while beachcombing on Saltwick Bay, North Yorkshire. I believe they are bone because of the honey comb structure. Can anyone confirm whether the rocks are bone or just rock. Many thanks for any help with identification.....other photos to follow.

Found this little thing this morning while rummaging in the shale on Saltwick Bay. First thought was just a small piece of belemnite, but one side is concave and the other is convex, so not sure what it could be (if anything at all) Can anyone shed any light on it? For those unfamiliar with the area the beaches are awash with belemnites, ammonites and bivalves. Ichthyosaurs are occasionally found here too. Thanks in advance
