Can some one help identify these from Penarth?

[James Ronan]

Hey all,

I found these when I was fossil hunting in Penarth in Wales a few weeks back. One of them seems to be a coprolite with various bone and tooth material imbedded. There are other bits of vert as well, some of which I have had a hard time identifying. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi James, thanks for sharing your finds! Unfortunately, these all appear to be rocks rather than fossils. The one you thought is a coprolite is actually a rock called breccia.

Thanks for the response Victor. That’s great, cleared it up for me.

Penarth

the rock with the bits in it could be fossil bits. Check out the site above.
