HERE ARE SOME OF MY FOSSILS THAT I FOUND ALONG THE BEACHES.

Lovely markings on those,Linda,nice shapes too. .:o)

THANKS BLOOMER. THE LARGE GREY ONE IS A DINOSAUR BONE, THE HEART SHAPED ONE AND SMALL GREY ONE ARE SEA URCHINS. THE SWIRLEY BROWN ONE OYSTERS, THE SMALL POINTED ONE IS LIKE A TENTACLE, AND THE ONE WITH LOTS OF POINTS ON AT THE BACK IS IRON ORE. MOST FOUND ON THE BEACH AT THE I.O.WIGHT.

Lovely collection, Linda. Shall you have them in the garden?

Fascinating to see. Lovely shapes, patterns and colours.

I KEEP THEM INDOORS KATE. THANKS WILDROSE, I LOVE PICKING THEM UP NOW AND AGAIN AND THINK HOW OLD THEY REALLY ARE.

Very nice. I particularly love that egg-shaped urchin. :)

THANKS KAREN.
IN THE HOME WHERE WE USED TO LIVE, DATED 1795, I USED TO FIND BITS OF CLAY PIPE, BLUE AND WHITE BITS OF POTTERY, BLUE BITS OF GLASS, AND SEVERAL OTHER PIECES IN THE GARDEN.

How lovely to live somewhere that old! All we find here, in our Mid-Victorian, is bits of pottery and broken glass from the 20th Century. Although we did find a Victorian scent bottle once. :)

VICTORIAN STYLE HOMES ARE LOVELY KAREN, AND HAVE SOME CHARACTER. WE NOW LIVE IN A BUNGALOW, BUT THE OLD LODGE WAS LOVELY AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAD LIVED THERE BEFORE AND WONDERED HOW THEY COPED AND WHAT THEY WERE LIKE.

A fascinating collection.....

THANKS DD, DOWN SOUTH FOSSILS....I.O.W

We must pop over sometime and have a look for some...
