Nink Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The first one is partial imprint of shell, not sure of what, the second one looks like Oolitic limestone but that's as far as my limited knowledge goes Wait for expert to give better ID.

Fossildude19 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Maybe oolitic limestone with a star shaped crinoid columnal for the second item.

Nink Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Thank you! She’ll be interested to know when she wakes up. Any idea on dating….? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Hunter Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 From what I read the Oolitic limestone comes from the Jurassic rocks which are 144.5 - 199.6 million years old. Tell your daughter she has a good eye for fossils and keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
