FOSSUK - What The ?




Home Page

Found near Jurassic Oxford Clay deposits near Weymouth. I think it might be from a brittle star ? (£10)
    Looks like a crocodile scute but a very unusual shape. May be from a very specific central location ? Found in Tertiary deposits on the North of the Isle of Wight. (£15)
    Some sort of jaw with the upper and lower bones converging sharply. Peg like teeth. ? Bad mistake. Can't remember where this was found. (£15)
  Looks like some sort of dorsal spine. Found in Tertiary deposits on the North of the Isle of Wight. (£15)
  Bizarre find ! From the gault at Folkestone. The ammonite is common (see the section on ammonites) preserved in a beautiful black phosphate. But after cleaning, the shark tooth became apparent. Bizarre because in many collecting visits and many ammonite finds I have never come across any other shark teeth. This must be a very old shark unlike all of the others featured which are tertiary. SOLD
    Rare find. I was reliably informed that this represents a pathalogic. If you look carefully the tooth appears serrated. But I am assured that this is due to a defect in the DNA in the enamel of the tooth. I must admit that all other teeth of this kind, that I have found, are not serrated. (£30)
