New Members craigs71 Posted June 29, 2022 New Members Share Posted June 29, 2022 Good evening all, I would like to introduce myself. I reside in South Yorkshire (North of England) and have been interested in dinosaurs and fossils since I was a young 'un and it has only been relatively recently (past 5 or so years) been able to actually go on the hunt for fossilised ancient creatures, I remember reading about Saint Hilda of Whitby (a North Yorkshire seaside town for those not from these lands) who, legend has it that she, the 7th-century Saxon abbess of Whitby, rid the area of snakes by turning them into stone, when I was young I was fascinated by this. I have a small collection of fossils comprising of: Belemnites, 'Devil's Toe Nails' (Gryphaea arcuata ), a nice bivalve and a couple of crystalised Ammonites along with a current unknown fossil that I'm not sure about (could be plant maybe?)

New Members craigs71 Posted June 29, 2022 Author New Members Share Posted June 29, 2022 I have posted, the one on the right is interesting, I think it might be plant but the left one looks similar to coral but I haven't seen it look like this.
