abyssunder Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Hello! Maybe they are sponges in chert/flint nodule. 1 1 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

TqB Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I agree they appear to be flint sponges (Upper Cretaceous). An approximate location would help although they are widespread in the UK, often well away from Cretaceous exposures. 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Yes Deal is on the Kent coast, only a few miles from the famous White Cliffs of Dover, classic flint sponge area. 1 1 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
