Steve,
 
the pink/peach rocks could be gypsum. Can you scratch them with your finger nail?

Wow Steve, finding 5 separate ribs in one day must be some sort of record.. The last one looks like its going to be a corker when prepped.

Hello Bow1980 - I think the thing that connects all of your bones together is called septarianism? it is were water has got into the rock and minerals have been left behind over time, I have got some fossils that have 'had it' because of the ammount of damage that has been done to them because of this problem.

Your bone block looks good with only a very small amount of septarianism (spelling?)

Hi Bow
Agree with Tabfish on the cracks, see septarian nodules from the london clay for a similar thing.
Nice fossils, love the verts
Thanks

Just been out in the garden Bow and took this picture of a very large Lower Jurassic - Lower Lias ammonite in a very large septarian nodule, probable total weight approx 40kg.
I hope you can see the ammonite but the septarian damage is even more evident.
