    Wow, your specimens are beautiful. The crinoid plates contain multiple kinds of pieces of crinoids and whaty could be seafans (?)

    I justchad another look. Well if you type in coprolite bullets (I kid you not!) there are some interesting looking samples, especially amongst shark and crocodile coprolites.

    My first thought was that it could be a tip off a fulgerite, but images do not match. If the hole is precisely down the middle I’d suggest it’s an artifact. If the hole is more to the side and not regular, you might want to check on coprolites? This one is fascinating.

    Hello, this does look a bit like an artifact. I’m not sure that it was completed. The stone does not look like obsidian.

    You might want to compare your fossil with images of jellyfish. It certainly is fascinating.

    I checked again. I think you should look at comparable photos of oysters and perhaps also some clamshells. Please do let us know what you have found out.

    Your last photo does show specimens. I’m wondering if they are perhaps oyster or worn bivalves? They do not look like ammonites.

    You should check your specimens against the Pliensbachian ammonites shown on Google. They are quite worn, but there should be enough detail left for you to identify at least to Genus. They look wonderful

    I am jealous of your fossil search places. I live in South Africa. Owing to a back problem I can’t walk that far anymore. I’m a teacher and taught at a school which had fossils. I then had Dinocamps for close on 30 years at least once per term. It was great fun and my South African kiddies enjoyed learning about our local fossils. I enjoy…[Read more]

    I believe those are proper fossils. If you touch these fossils they will probably feel cold. Even though they are stone, you are able to see the texture of the bone. It would be difficult to collect the fossil in “one” piece. Maybe a jacket of plaster of Paris could keep it together. I would like to advise leaving it in situ is you are not well…[Read more]

    This looks like a badly broken bone. There are a lot of pieces of bone visible.

    Photo 1, Looks like some nautiloid and possibly a Turritella. 2.Lovely piece of branching coral. 3. Turritella, a possible bivalve on the right. 4. Perhaps compare to Bryozoans. This is a very tightly packed fossil. 5. Compare to pictures of branching bryozoans. A really grand collection.

    I am so pleased for you. Beware you’ve been bitten by the fossil bug. Rock addiction makes you sick , very sick. Fossil fever however is terminal. Enjoy.

    This can be just a piece of sandstone, but the shapes make me believe that there could be a squashed vertebrae in there somewhere. I do not see any exposed bone. Compare this with images on Google.

    I believe you have a bivalve specimens there. Compare with images on Google images.

    Though very worn it looks like you may have a rib. There looks to be other pieces of bone surrounding your find. Awesome.

    I believe you are right. They are beautiful specimens. I think you should compare your specimens with pictures of rugose and tabulate coral fossils on Google images. You are going to find most of your answers there.

    I believe you have a nice meteorite there. See if you can find the Meteorite Men on internet. They should be able to identify it properly
