New Members Steve3214 Posted April 29, 2020 New Members Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi there - I've been ploughing through the web trying to identify these recent finds on a fossiling trip to Folkestone, but sadly without success. If anyone could help me identify them that would be very much appreciated. Image 1 (specimen approx 2.5 cm long) Image 2 (specimen approx 2.5 cm across) Image 3: (largest specimen 6 cm long) Thank you! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhiggi Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Second ones Pseudomytiloides dubius perhaps? Look a bit like things I’ve had identified as such 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I think the gastropod steinkerns probably can't be IDd much further - there are several that match that shape. The same probably goes for the bivalve in no. 2. No. 3 could be Inoceramus anglicus - the ornament is right. (Pseudomytiloides dubius is a much older Lower Jurassic bivalve. ) (My source is the Palaeontological Association guide book, "Fossils of the Gault Clay", edited Young et al. A local specialist may be able to help more!) 5 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Steve3214 Posted April 30, 2020 Author New Members Share Posted April 30, 2020 Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts - it's much appreciated. I've looked up Inoceramus anglicus images on google and it looks like a good match with the fossils I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
