Hi there! This was found by my son several years ago when he went for a wee in the bushes. Was in Battersea park (London) about 10 metres from the River Thames. Any thoughts as to what type of animal or era? Many thanks!

This was a great activity! My daughter (3yo at time) and I loved it. The fossil gets placed under the microscope in the viewing space and then is projected onto a huge screen on the wall (not pictured). This was ideal as small children struggle to focus on the typical small viewer on a common microscope, but this way she could see exactly on what the microscope was focused.-

Hi everyone! A few months ago I came across a post by another user displaying their impressive collection of marine reptile bones they collected between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, U.K. I had no idea that you could have such success with bone fossils along this stretch, so I decided to take a trip and see what I could find. I had a great time and found a good amount of bone pieces, Here is what I came back with after 5 days of looking on Charmouth beach, in order of finding: Now some closer photos by type. I found 2 full Ichthyosaur vertebrae, one from the ribcage section (which I forgot to include in the overall photo), and one from the tail: One very small partial Ichthyosaur vertebra: 2 Ichthyosaur paddle digits: 2 pieces of Ichthyosaur rib bone, from very differently sized creatures! These two are harder to identify, the best guess so far is possibly part of a shoulder bone on the left and possibly a piece of Ichthyosaur jaw on the right, though they are quite rolled and thus hard to get a solid ID: A partial fossilised shark fin spine from a hybodus shark: Another unidentified and heavily worn piece of bone, perhaps from the skull of something, the man in the heritage centre seemed to think it wasn’t Ichthyosaur or plesiosaur: and finally, another unidentified piece, possibly some part of a fish? I have a separate ID post for these last 2 with videos and more photos of you have any ideas for them! All in all extremely happy with what I found, and will definitely be returning!

Hello all! My name is Josh and I am a 2nd Year Zoology with Entomology student in Shropshire, UK. Only very recently (within the past few weeks!) have I developed an interest in fossils, so I've got a lot to learn. I'm likely to really be posting ID requests. Thank you

This is a marine reptile bone that i found nearly 10 years ago between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, which is famous for its Early Jurassic marine fossils (about 195 million years old). Although it is worn there is some clear shape that should indicate what bone it is, although i have so far been unable to figure it out. Realistically, it is going to be ichthyosaur (most likely) or plesiosaur in origin. Two ovular depressions/joint surfaces are clearly visible on one side of the bone. Furthermore, the flatness of the bone is real and not just due to wear (both main faces are the edge/surface of the bone). The side with the two suspected joint surfaces is the thickest side, and it slopes down to become progressively thinner opposite to them. A paddle bone of some sort is my suspicion but i am yet to see a clear match. Any ideas? Thanks!

Best of my ammonites 2.0 reloaded. I decided to redo “ best of my ammonite” thread because my old thread is a little outdated. I have given so many of my ammonites away to friends that it seamed strange been called my collection . Also I have found some new , older finds and gifted ammonites that I have never shown before so it should be entertaining. I hope you don’t mind seeing a few duplicates in the next weeks post. I will post 3 specimens now and a couple of more every week. My dyslexia is very time consuming so this thread will keep me busy to Christmas and beyond. Thanks for looking Bobby Promicroceras British Lower Lias, Lower Jurassic Ammonite Cluster "Marston Marble" from Marston Magna, Somerset, England. U.K. Pleuroceras salebrosum? Cleeve Hill Not a bad Ammonite from a rare location. Cleeve is the highest point both of the Cotswolds hill range and of the county of Gloucestershire. U.K. A cool piece A Gyrosteus fish bone and a small Dactylioceras from Sandsend Whitby U.K.

Embedded in a shell bed - what is it? From Mortimer Forest (Silurian; Ludlow), Shropshire UK
EntomoloJosh posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, I noticed this (referring to the long darker line with the circles in it) in one of the shell beds that I collected from Mortimer Forest a couple weeks ago. It doesn't really look like a shell, or part of, to me, so I'm very confused as to what it is. Thank you!- 1 reply

Hi everyone! I found these at Charmouth over the weekend (Black Ven side) and just was hoping for some help with identifything them. I took them to the Heritage centre and Phil said they were likely a bone from the top of the skull of something (not sure what), and maybe a part of a fish - possibly the cheek? He suggested to post on a fossil ID Facebook group which I have done, IMG_4516.MOV IMG_4519.MOV and I thought I would also put it here too just to see if anyone has any ideas. I can add some still images of these videos are not clear enough.

Lots of fossils from Mortimer Forest, Shropshire, UK (Silurian; Wenlock)
EntomoloJosh posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, For a trip for my birthday, my girlfriend and I went to Mortimer Forest in South Shropshire to look for fossils, and we came across quite a few, and as I am very new to fossil collecting (only have been interested within the past few weeks, and I got the DK Fossil Handbook earlier today), I'm not entirely sure what most of them are. I've made a link to an Imgur album for all of the fossils we collected. The caption for each photo is my best guess at an ID, and the numbers denote which rocks they are in. Most of the fossils were found in/by streams, although some were found on the ground by some exposed bedrock. Thank you for reading, and I hope you can help https://imgur.com/a/sT1T0bg- 13 replies
