My finds to date.....

Hi everyone, as I am new to this site I thought I would post my best finds so far.
I have only been fossil hunting a couple of years and am still learning about my finds!
I prep my own finds using an air pen or acetic acid, depending on the matrix.

From Monmouth Beach Lyme Regis:










Black Venn - Charmouth





Burton Bradstock







Aust













Seatown (mainly Seatown on shelf, some Hock Cliff)







And the rest....yet to be prepped or lurking in the shed not quite making the grade for the cabinet lol













Not many amazing discoveries so far lol but this lot have kept me busy,
Thank you for looking

Very nice
I like your workshop... mine is currently my bathroom, and full of folkestone clay just now.

Those fossils! Wow! Amazing! I love your ichy bones! So many verts! And those ammonites, so beautiful!
Nice finds!

Thanks Spleain..and Kosmos,

I'm just booking another week in Lyme in June so hopefully more to come soon

Beautiful finds there, really amazing

Thankyou

Excellent finds, you have the nucleus of a fine collection there. Have you been able to identify many?

Your preparation area looks remarkably clean

Good luck in June - I had a stroll down the beach at Lyme once and picked up a few (very) small ammonites, but nothing Mary Anning would have got excited about ...

Well played, Madam.

Really jealous of your prep shed Sal!
I can't swing a mouse in mine let alone a cat.

Very nice finds and your prep work is beautiful, and I can only dream of having a prep workshop like yours but you never know if I win the lottery .

Regards

Sarah .

Thank you guys and gals. I do like having a shed to escape to every now and then, almost as relaxing as fossil hunting...lol xx

Kosmoceras I've only been hunting for a couple of years so I'm still learning, albeit slowly, about my finds.i rely on both forums for sources of info. Pete (Knochie) has been the font of all knowledge with regards to Aust and a brill guide (thanks Pete)....I only tend to label my finds if I'm confident about them lol However most of what I have found now I have ID's for.
My workshop is normally mid prep so dust and bits everywhere...thought I'd better tidy it up for a photo lol!

If anyone is interested in arranging a date between 1st and 8th June for a fossil hunt in Lyme let me know

Loving it all!! I need to get me to Aust at some point! Wish I had a place to prep my fossils though, at the moment it's the house's bath at uni (we're all palaeo students in our house so we all have stuff to prep) and my garden patio at home Hopefully I can persuade my mum to move everything out of the shed at home lol

I'd love to go down to Lyme Regis, haven't been there (or anywhere along the Jurassic coast yet!), definitely a box that needs ticking, I'll see what I can do- I have a field trip until the 3rd or 4th of June though

I'd love to go down to Lyme Regis, haven't been there (or anywhere along the Jurassic coast yet!)

Should be down there for fossil fest in May

Wow what a collection! Very very nice!

Thanks Rockhopper.

Just a reminder, I'm off to Lyme Regis for a week from 1st June if anyone interested in arranging a day out
