Saturday 28th November - I ventured out in the driving rain and the freezing cold and wet weather with my Daddy and Uncle. we got very muddy but discovered a haul of various fossils including belemnites and imprints of ammonites. We think we need to return in the dryer weather to find some more. It was very worthwhile and I am pleased we went on our discovery.
 I would give this site 8 out 10.

I believe I may have found an interesting fossil at the clay pits in Yaxley last weekend. I need help for identification

Very nice finds Tatiana, It's a great place to find fossils, although it's about 5 years since I was there!
I can't help you with ID's as I don't have access to my books at the moment, but I'm sure someone who has a copy of ' Fossils of the Oxford clay' will be able to help you with your patial jaws. Once again, well done! |

Hi Tatiana,
I think they are pieces of shark fin spine. Very nice they are too.
This one below is from a Hybodus sp. shark, from the Lower Cretaceous, Weald Clay. It's different to yours, but you can see the similarity.

Hi Tatiana
Wow great find what you have found is parts of the fin spine from Asterecanthus ornatissimus.
