Not had a chance to get on and post much lately so hope this finds everone safe and well in these troubling times! Made a few interesting shark finds over the past few weeks while I was still able to get out, first was this Helodus (Pleuroplax) affinis tooth plate from the Coal Measures, definitely the biggest and best Ive found! Its just over 1cm long.

 

 

Then my favourite find in a long time, a lovely Ctenacanthid fin spine with a double row of alternating denticles from the Burdiehouse Limestone. 59mm long.

 

 

And finally another Coal Measures find from a box of promising looking matrix now I'm staying at home, a tiny little pair of Helodus simplex still joined together. Each tooth is just 3mm wide.

 

 

   

ABSOLUTELY KILLER!
