I'm planning on visiting port mulgrave this summer but I have read multiple reports about the access to the beach which do not sound great. Could anyone describe to me what the situation is like right now and if there are any plans to fix the access before summer 2024? Thanks, FossilLerp2

The other day I found this strange looking rock on the beach at Port Mulgrave- a well known fossil hunting site near Whitby. I'd be interested to know if anyone has any ideas as to what it might be before I go ahead and hammer it out...it looks like a typical nodule from the area with several distinct lumps. I hypothesise a group of Ammonites but this is only a guess. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi, I had a gander for the first time at a local beach, one of many known for its fossil. I’ve had a look online for these that I have found and thought was worth looking at further (after washing off) but am still unsure. I wondered what others here would think too or add. Or had anywhere to refer me to. thanks in advance. photos numbered 1. I don’t think this one is anything special but noticed it because of the indent, but couldn’t find anything on it. 2. thought this one looked tooth like at the time, I’ve also noticed the lines down one of the sides. Though having looked at others that have collected teeth from the same site note it does not look like any of these. I have looked online at belamites but not sure of this either. 3. I saw the little horse show shaped marks on this one. Having done some research I believe it could be the remains of a worm burrowing? This one on the side has an indent, could this be a coral? 4. Picked this one up initially because of the shape but noticed there was more to it on each side. Looks like a tail on one side then spines on the other where the ridged edges are. This one is very fragile (perhaps almost skull like (the reason I noticed it at the site)) and have not been able to find much online about it either.

Hi everyone! Archaeologist here, looking for help with an Ammonite ID 😄 My dad and I found these two Ammonites near Sherborne in Dorset, UK. If anyone is able to tell me the species/age, I would be so grateful!

Hello, I have this fossil from the Middle Ordovician Hope shales, Leigh, Shropshire, UK. It was labeled as a carpoid "Anfesta sp.". However I realize that it has complete bilateral symmetry and no plate-like structure, even for a carpoid. Besides, I googled "Anfesta" and that is a Ediacaran organism with triradial symmetry, so evidently incorrect. What could this be? I can't find anything like it online, but maybe a brachiopod internal mold?

Hello everyone - I am getting into fossil collecting and recently had a trip to Charmouth, UK. I would like to try to ID some of the pyrite ammonite species I found there. I've written what I thought they might be based on information and photos I have found online but I am very much a beginner so I would like some help checking them. I've also included another pyrite fossil which I'm not sure what it is at the end. 35mm long paperclip for scale. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 1: Both Promicroceras? 2: Not sure - maybe Echioceras? 3: Oxynoticeras? 4: Another Echioceras? 5: No idea - looks like a fragment of something conical with horizontal bands around it which can be sort of seen in the first image - mostly encased in pyrite.

Hello again all. Thank you for being so helpful last time. Our Wiltshire driveway has proven rather fruitful…! Since the scleractinian coral, daughter has since found these two (plus another coral). She is, as ever, super excited. Any thoughts? (We are Wiltshire UK and the fossils were in our driveway stones. The stone with the little star is approx 3cm by 6cm and the stone with the layered lines is about 2cm by 3cm. We’ve started to put them into little display pots). Thank you in advance!

Hello all. My daughter is very keen on fossils (via a love of dinosaurs!) and quite by chance found this amongst our driveway stones this morning… Is it a fossil? If so, does anyone have any idea what it might be? She would love to know. We’re in Wiltshire in the UK but the stones could have come from anywhere - they’re loose and were probably bought as a bulk load when the former owners redid our drive. Many thanks for any info!

Picked this up off the foreshore today. Different to what I usually find when I visit this location. Interested to know what it is and how best to prep/ look after it. Complete amateur at prepping with only basic hand tools. It's quite large 20cm across with lots of quartz in the segments.

Hi. My Father Found this bone back in the 60`s in Buckinghamshire UK. Have been facinated ever since my father told me it was a dinosaur foot was I was a small child. Would love to know what fossil it is.

Hi, I grew up walking the fields of our family farm. But it's only now as an adult that I've begun actually researching what they all are, and sorting through which finds I should keep and which ones I should move along. Mainly because my 'cool rock' collection has begun taking up a lot of space! Looking forward to hopefully identifying some, and also seeing everyone else's finds!
