    Tooth found at Shingle Street, Suffolk, UK

    Hi all! New to the site, new to fossil hunting, and new to the UK! I was taking a walk earlier today at Shingle Street, not looking for fossils. I happened to look down and found this gem! Can anyone help me identify it and tell me how old it is? Thanks!
  4. I have found, what I believe to be a fossilised vertebra, and would like any advice on what species it could be and how old it may be. The item was found along a riverbank. It has a surprising weight for it's size - I can record the exact weight with electronic scales within the next 24 hours. The object appears to be of white bone with a red/iron marrow present through the centre. There are crystals in the recesses which sparkle when the light hits it and when it is wet. The top and bottom of the item are very smooth. The specimen has been washed with warm water and a toothbrush. It ts extremely tactile, a pleasure to hold! I didn't want to put it down until I decided to keep it in a resealable plastic bag. I have some pictures which I will enclose (the sun was setting and so there are long shadows cast - magnify the images for better clarity) - I am a novice photographer! I also have a short video which could be sent via WhatsApp. I have contacted my local museum and left a voice message - the museum closed for refurbishment for 2 years about a week ago!

    Marks on Whale Bone

    Hello, These bone fragments are from the Red Crag formation, found at Bawdsey and Ramsholt in Suffolk. The bones are likely from Balaena affinis which are the most commonly found bones from the Red Crag formation. I was wondering what these marks could be on them? This first one has several circular depressions and two depressions in the shape parallel lines on its surface. This piece has several circular depressions. Lastly, this piece has two depressions with a slightly shiny surface, somewhat similar to those on the first piece. Hopefully the photos show these well. There's also larger holes, I was wondering if these could have been caused by boring bivalves? There were a lot of these which had bored into the London Clay on the foreshore. Thank you.
  7. Last month I visited Suffolk to collect some fossils. The first site was Bawdsey, where fossils can be collected from the Red Crag formation and Eocene London Clay on the foreshore. The Red Crag formation also contains derived fossils, and although extremely rare, Megalodon teeth have been found from it. Sorry if some of the photos are quite poor. There were huge amounts of Pyritised Wood all over the foreshore, from the London Clay. Unfortunately I can't attach photos of the wood I collected as they are currently sealed to keep moisture away. Whilst collecting some wood, I was lucky to witness an impressive rockfall. From the Red Crag formation, I found some bones, with Balaena affinis being the most common type from here. These are a few I found. Afterwards, I went to Ramsholt, which sits along the River Deben. I was able to find some fossils from the Red Crag formation and the Coralline Crag formation. From the Coralline Crag formation, I found a bryozoan and several corals, which I think may be Cryptangia woodi. From the Red Crag formation, I found many bivalves, which I think are Venus casina and Laevastarte. Quite a few show what looks like gastropod bore marks. I also found some scallop-like bivalves that could be Aequipecten, however all of these are mostly covered by rock. The gastropods I found are what I think to be Buccinum (I think the one in the photo may be modern, however I did find one in a piece of the Red Crag) and Neptunea contraria, both are whelks. The other I believe is Turritella incrassata. I also found some smaller gastropods, however haven't been able to identify them yet. There were also a few more bone fragments from the Red Crag formation and some pebbles which apparently are derived. Low tide was late in the day, so I took photos of the sunset on the walk back.

    Suffolk sharks teeth

    Hi all, new to the forum! I have a few sharks teeth to identify for my daughter, if anyone can help? We met a lovely gent on Bawdsey beach, Suffolk who gave us a mini lesson and said the 2 we had found at the time were sand tiger shark teeth and one was about 4 million years old (I think that was the big one). I’m not actually sure if No1 is a tooth? We are total beginners so not clued up on the time period names or classifications so if anyone can explain what we’re looking at in terms for a 6 year old that would be amazing!
  9. These are three finds, made on my local Suffolk coastline (UK), that I'd please like identified... The first of these ('1') has flat, shiny surfaces - but I suspect it to be 'just' a nice-looking rock; the second ('2') I'm not too sure what it is; and the third ('3') is definitely either coral or, less likely, bone - for it's incredibly light for its size, and it feels almost hollow... 1.

    Neptunea contraria (Linnaeus 1771)

    From the album: Gastropods and Bivalves Worldwide

    6cm. long. Pliocene. Found at Red Crag, Suffolk, UK
  11. I found this about 3 years ago along the South Suffolk coastline (in the UK) that meets the North Sea, where the Doggerland sank about ten thousand years ago, give or take. Based on googling, I believe it could be a fox leg bone, but if I'm wrong, please let me know! (Also, if these pictures don't meet spec, please let me know that too.) It's hollow inside, as far as I can see with a flashlight, and it narrows as well, but it's hard to photograph that. This is probably where a ligament would wrap around? Thank you in advance to everyone for help and corrections!

    PB Hastalis

    Howdy all! Went fishing last night and because it was so rubbish I went fossiling instead! Handy when both of your hobbies take place on the same bit of beach! Strong South East winds had built the sea up coupled with a big ish tide and the cliffs were taking a pounding! Perfect for teethies! However, as perfect as it looked, the teeth didn’t want to play ball. The pick of the bunch was a 61mm C.Hastalis which is the biggest I’ve found or seen from Suffolk or even England. Has some lovely lighting strikes patina markings on it which is typical of teeth from the red crag formation. Rest of the teeth consisted of mainly smaller makos but nothing amazing. No photos of the cliffs, it was pouring with rain and pitch black. So here is a photo of the location in much nicer weather. Thanks for reading everyone!!
  13. Hi TFF, Elliot and I were wandering what species of Eocene shark teeth these may be (unsure if they are Eocene). The Geology of the Bawdsey beach exposures appears to be Eocene London Clay, Ypresian age 54 mya. We found these teeth in the shingle that runs along the London Clay exposure.

    Storm Alex Finds

    After storm Alex hit this weekend, went out for an hour this morning to a deserted beach. Waves have been pushing against the cliffs and a few fresh falls are evident. First find was a partial Meg chunk. With a little bit of enamel left. Picked up a nice isurus by the fresh fall along with an Otodus tip. Lastly and without doubt the find of the day was this what I think is a Carcharodon Hastalis. 62mm making it the largest one I’ve found. It has some wonderful blue colours to it that the photos don’t show to well. Thanks for reading everyone!

    Potential tooth?

    Any ideas as to what this might be from? Many thanks

    Weekends finds

    Hello all. Put in quite a few hours over the weekend in between fishing sessions. A few teeth but nothing amazing, even the locals are all struggling. Need a big storm to bring a bit more of the cliff down.

    Unknown Red Crag tooth

    Hello all, Found this yesterday at Bawdsey, Suffolk. From the red crag bed 3.3-2.5 MYA. Any ideas on what species it’s from? Never found one this “chunky”.

    found our first fossil but need help

    Hi all Very new to this but we found this in Suffolk England in a shallow valley under 1.5 meters of sand and flint in the top 200mm of a deep layer of grey clay with some chalk and flint in it. on its own

    flints or something more interesing?

    Hi We found these and picked them up on the basis they dont look anything like the flints in this ground. So not what they might be, any info would be appreciated like the other finds these were in a shallow valley in east suffolk under 1.5m of flinty sand and on top of or in the top layer of heavy grey clay with some chalk and slint in it.
  20. brian alabaster

    second find

    We found this in a pond we have dug on the site of an old pond at the juncture between the clay infill and the undisturbed clay under the old pond. depth 1.75m. Heavy clay with flint and chalk in it location Suffolk on boulder clay in the bottom of a very shallow valley I thought it was man made as it was so detailed but my my son and friend think it is a fossil so here are the pictures against a ruler showing inches and centimeters

    saber tooth ?

    Hi we found this in the spoil heap from sand clay flint mix dug from on top of a thick layer of boulder clay at about 1.5m in a shallow valley in north suffolk about 12 miles inland it has a clockwise twist I am hoping it is a tiger tooth but am prepared to be disappointed
  22. brian alabaster

    second find from pond no.2

    Hi We have found a second item from a pond dig in chalky clay at about 1.75m seems similar to the last find but the material is much more soft and chalky to the touch any ideas would be very gratefully received Thanks in advance Brian
  23. Hello all! Took the hounds down the local beach for a walk and thought I’d have a quick look for teeth as I was there. Sea was nice and rough with the wind coming off it pushing the waves against the cliff. Straight away I was finding lots of Isurus teeth on the tide line which had derived from the Red Crag. They often have lovely markings that look like white lightning and really are quiet pretty. Got one nice Carcharodon tooth at just under 50mm which is a nice size here. Few more bits n bobs and by that time the dogs were bored so we finished our walkies and went home! Thanks for reading!

    English Cliff Meg

    Hello all! Headed down the local beach after work, had a little look over the London Claybeds but nothing good was about. Headed up the beach to the red crag cliffs which have been collapsing a lot. Started looking over the slump piles at the bottom of the cliff picking up a few small teeth and bits of ray plate. Scrambled up the slump pile a little bit to the phosphate nodule bed and spotted this in the sand...oooo I thought, that looks interesting. Dug it out and with a bit of spit this soon appeared. Was only 74mm long but was in a lovely condition for a red crag tooth. Spent another ten minutes in the slumps but my hunger got the better of me and I headed home. Thanks for reading everyone!
