Hello folks
I've been a bit quiet this year - haven't been out much collecting and haven't found much when I have but over the last 2 or 3 trips to the seaside have done a little better so thought I'd send some pics of the finds
Firstly a fairly large Andogynoceras maculatum - 8cm found as a glacial erratic on the Holderness coast and prepped for me by Yorkshire Coast fossils
Second one - a double Caenasites also found as an erratic at Holderness and prepped by YCF. The largest ammonite is 5cm
Next one I'm having a go at myself - not finished yet but is coming along ok - a 5inch Hildoceras bifrons plucked from a freshly fallen nodule at Ravenscar last Sunday. Shame about the weathered keel at the mouth border but I wouldn't have seen it if that bit hadn't been sticking out.
Lastly a purchase (gave up hopes of trying to find one), a 7cm Nodiocoeloceras
All the best
Andy
