tinaspoon Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hello, Can anyone help identify this fossil we found on the Yorkshire Coast, UK? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Regrettably, I don't think this is a fossil egg, but likely a concretion of some kind -- although a quite convincing example.

AJ58 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Welcome to TFF.It looks like egg to me but the experts will chime in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Definitely a concretion, looks like a nice little septarian one. Fossil eggs have never been found on the Yorkshire coast (or, indeed, from the UK, except as very rare fragments) but concretions like that are common. 2 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Concretion, yes. Septarian, no. The "partitions" in a septarian are not limited to the surface, and in many cases do not reach the surface. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
