Posted on 05/04/2022 23:14 by brueThe photo angle doesn't show the pointed shape very well and it won't be a land based fossil, this was a sea bed area. I've collected dinosaur coprolite fossils from the IOW and they are large..like elephant dung!
We think it is a "shark" or similar marine tooth, we've now compared it on web sites.
Interesting to find these things, thanks for your input. I wonder what will turn up next as we dig out a new path!?

No, I looked up and identified what has been found Rocky although I can't identify the actual type of marine animal. Sharks tooth fossils are very common in the UK. I put photos of the IOW fossils in the story section a few years back, they were quite large obviously not from elephants (that was me being funny) but from dinosaurs.
Yes it is a good idea to do your own research if you've found something of interest.

Loving all these finds👍 Best we get in our garden are clay pipes. So interesting though. We used to belong to the Time Team Club.
I forgot to mention we saw two very large 30+ herds of Deer in fields when we were out not far from Fotheringhay on our Ferry Meadows trip. Haven’t seen that many in one go for a long time.

As I've posted in another thread we went to Threave Castle today and saw the pair of Ospreys there, also one of the Peregrines on the top of the Castle, and could hear them calling too. From the Stepping Stones hide we spotted 3 pairs of Goosanders, a couple of Black Backed Gulls, an Egret and a hundred or more Pink Footed Geese. On our site there is a Charm of Goldinches who enjoy feeding on one of the other empty pitches.
