Hello everyone! My little brother made this nice find near Thrupp Lake in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK. The lake is close to the Thames river. It looks like some sort of shell fossil? The rock is about 8cm wide and 5cm tall. We'd appreciate any help identifying it! Thank you.

Hi all, hoping you might be able to help me identify this tooth-looking thing I found whilst mud-larking the Thames. Some info: -It is about two inches long -The black and white part is shiny like a tooth and the brown part is more matte I have no experience in this field, so I’d be grateful to hear any thoughts you have, and if it even is a fossil at all

Hi, I found this forum when searching for history of the Thames River in London, Ontario. I keep finding amazing fossils in my yard, I don't recognize many of them so I was trying to look them up, as well as learn about the earth beneath me. I want to know about the age and makeup of this area. I found Kane's posts and pictures of finds in the London vicinity, and have learned a great deal in a short period of time. I'm so excited to learn that I'm living on top of such ancient bedrock. That's exposed! I've always loved digging around for fossils, having spent hours sitting in the school yard meticulously looking through the rocks with my girlfriend. I found a trilobite there, couldn't believe it. Just a little bitty trilobite was curled up, just sitting there waiting for me to pick it up. That was on the south side of Chicago in the mid 60s. (I've always wondered where that gravel came from.) So I'm an amateur, love rocks, it's plus if a fossil is in there. I just love being outside and exploring, I love the quiet and solitude, nature. Hate ants. Sorry. Just learned that a black ant can live 15 years. ugh Anyway I have enjoyed the posts on this forum and appreciate the pictures and fossil identification that members post along with them. I want to learn and appreciate this expertise in this forum. Debbie Kraft Dorchester, Ontario

Found in my yard in Dorchester, Ontario on the Thames River. I've found several of these in my yard. Is it a crinoid? I'd sure love to know what an experienced fossil hunter would call it, as well as what era it might be from. Looks like there is one large one through the rock, with other little things in there.
