not the best pics cos I'm still working out how to use the image resizer,but the block is quite large and has other fish too. What you are seeing is the reverse..... actual block with all fossils on needs work doing on it....watch this space!

It,s an Orcadian slab......I usually find bits or poor specimens, so this was a bit of a eureka moment. The closer I look at the whole thing the more I know it has to go to Mike in Sandsend!
