Please help with identifying this find from Charmouth
Submitted by SMUDGER on Mon, 03/30/2009 - 20:34.

Hi, I am new to fossil hunting but am very keen. I have visited Charmouth three times now & had various success. Last Saturday I found the object pictured below & would like some help from you guys in confirming what it is. To me it looks like a reptile comming out of its shell. Am I right? It is about 35mm long. Many thanks, Smudger.

Hi,

See /help/how_to_use_geologyrocks/editor on how to add images - the attachment feature doesn't seem to work too well!

Hope that helps.

Geologists are gneiss!!

I am not 100% sure what that is. Possibly a weathered concretion of some sort. I would bet a sizeable amount that it is not a lizard unfortunately.
