I'm new to the forum so I thought i'd have a try at posting a few of my better fossils found in the fields beneath the scarp slope of the south downs in East Sussex. In the past i usually gave them away but since a visit to the Isle of Wight I found i'd like to know more about what I have found.
I know very little about them so any help with identification would be gratefully recieved.
1 & 2.
These are a common find here, though its rare to get them without plough or frost damage
3.
I believe this is an ammonite formed from marcasite,
.
4
Another shell formed from a material similar to Marcsite without the crystaline appearance that Marcasite usually has.
5
These large ammonites have turned up in the past when the plough has gone a bit deeper than usual. Unfortunately this one has been out in the frost for a number of years,
Thanks for looking.
