I found this rock on a beach on the Isle of Wight. In some big rocks they had bones in them like the one on pictures 4 and 5. Nearby on the ground I found the rock on pictures 1, 2 and 3. If it is a fossil bone please help identify!
Thanks

Hello Thomas,

I think this is just a rounded and weathered flint nodule. You can see the blue flint coming through the hard chalk that surrounds it at some places. On this http://www.fortunecity.com/greenfield/e ... 0/err1.jpg you can see the black flint to the right of the image where it has recently been broken. More to the left you can see colours that look like your specimen.

Greetings,
Bram

Not quite the news I wanted to hear, but thanks for the ident.

What about this rock from the same beach, does it contain any bones? ???

hello mate ime no expert but could it be fossil sediment. one item looks like a fruit stalk ?
