I found some new fossils and took some photos from the location Beachy Head. It was result of gales...I would say ! The one which looks like an ammonite has been inside a bigger piece of clay. The biggest seems to be a clam.

hello Roy and a Happy New Year to you!
OK, Pictures1,3,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,226,31 all seem to be Echinoids (sea urchins) in flint, but no,s 16,18,21 I think are what are known as 'regular' species i.e. they are round in shape and the hole (mouth) is in the centre, 10 is just a piece of flint worn to look like a tooth! 23,29,30 all look like bivalve/brachiopods and 25 is a section of an ammonite. Oh, just to say there is no clay there it is just mushy chalk! Well done a nice haul! |

Dear Alex.C
This was a nice surprise !
Thank you very much for your answer, it is highly appreciated.
Still about the number 10 ! I have a few simular ones and all of them have two holes
on the top, which means that the wider part has to have been up sucking oxygen.
Anyway there is more to come...so I will contact you with my new UK mail adress
somewhere in March !
Take care and be careful with that mushy chalk...it really drops fast !
