Couple of finds from last week. Also found a very waterworn Ichthyosaur vert (not shown)
 
Ichthyosaur rib, with the end tip of another rib above it.
 
 
 
Very large piece of bone. Guessing a bit of a Plesi rib? This was from Triassic bit
 
 
Picture of both for scale

Steve, popped down Lavernock today supposedly for an hour, but turned into 3, oops. Had to buy a box of chocolates on the way home to avoid a torrent of abuse off the other halfEmbarrassed
 
Left before low tide, but I went to that spot you told me about, it wasn't fully exposed so just searched around the piles on the edges. I found a couple of broken bits of bone but 3 Plesi teeth.
 
Ended up giving one of the teeth away to a little boy, his dad however told me about a promising site in Newport, supposedly his mate found an Ichthyosaur skull in the shale there whilst fishing!!

Nearly found the perfect Plagistoma,gutted it is slightly damaged,apart from that the day was fairly disapointing,found a couple off small Plagistoma near low tide but nothing exciting.

Below is my Plesi tooth that I found a couple of weeks ago

I believe it's just gravel, I was told the area was a gravel bed from the Triassic
