That looks like a very beautiful place to look for fossils, and some beautiful fossils that You have found there.

The best of both worlds!!

I love your Schyzaster !

The egg on the left hand seems to be a Scyliorhinus canicula, a recent little shark. The right one is from a skate/ray.

I like the echinoids, unlike anything I have found in the states.

Thanks

The echinoids "Schizaster" are comum here.

whoo-hoo! Nice megs and makos. Really great stuff there. Keep this spot a secret. Not too many surface locations yield megs with that kind of regularity. Keep posting. I love the pics.

Luck is the most important skill of a fossil diver.

Wonderful finds. Portugal and Spain are on my "must visit" list. I plan to do a long road trip to include both.

I think it is a fish tooth. It looks like it has a clear acrodin cap (circled in red).

That's not a Jellyfish Vieira...What you saw is called "caravela-portuguesa" and it's a colony of polyps that belongs to the phyllum Cnidaria,also.

Regards and fantastic fossils as always,
