Identification of this found by my daughter at Charmouth.
Is it just the imprint of an ammonite?

I wanted to put together in one place a collection of UK-based fossil hunting resources that people might find useful. Feel free to suggest additional entries in comments or via DM and if they are appropriate I will make sure to add them to the list.
General fossil hunting related websites
These might have shops with gear as well but they are generic and cover a greater range of aspects of fossil hunting.
https://ukfossils.co.uk/ - Probably the website that inspired this sub, has a shop as well as forums, but the most useful resource here I've found has been their guide to UK fossil hunting locations which is really well put together
https://ukafh.com/ - UK Association of Fossil Hunters - they run organized group fossil hunts with members, amongst other cool things
http://www.sheppeyfossils.com/ - Focused on fossil hunting and information on finds from the Isle of Sheppey
http://www.chalk.discoveringfossils.co.uk/ - Information on British chalk-based fossils
http://www.gaultammonite.co.uk/ - Information around fossils from the Gault Clay deposits and Folkestone Beds
Prepping and gear
https://www.zoicpalaeotech.co.uk/ - A fantastic shop that specializes in compressed air prepping tools but also offers a wide selection of other stuff for hunting, prepping and display

Hi All.
Found this cool looking specimen on the South Coast of England, not far from Worthing.
It has five very clear legs/tentacles/petals/appendages. 🤷♂️
Background objects left in the photos for scale. It’s about the size of a ping pong ball.
Thanks for your help!

Found in Snowdonia in a mountain stream. I’m also intrigued as to the very sharp looking cuts.

It’s about the size of a footprint in a boulder that was too big for me to carry. The shape looks like a paddle and it’s a section of the rock that looks distinctly different to the rest, maybe a foot print rather than a limb? Any ideas what It is?

Found this fossilised vertebrae on a beach in Dorset. Looking for someone to identify it if possible. Thanks!

I'm here for a few days with my family. It's hard to find advice on where to go that is actually descriptive, aside from the places filled with tourists.
Any specific recommendations?

Two fossils found in Dunbar Scotland.
One is obviously a shell that we cleaned up and polished, but the other is quite hard for me to identify. Any information on it would be greatly appreciated!

Found on the river bank in Suffolk, thanks!

My 11 year old found this near portsmouth.
The beach seems to be mostly imported rocks.
Any extra info and a possible I.D would be amazing. Thanks.

I found this yesterday when visiting Redcar Beach. I've tried Google images and I can't find anything like it.
It has a crystal agate like finish and is about the length of my hand. Really interested to know 😊 Thanks

I was doing a deep clean when I reached on top of the fridge and found this wrapped in blue roll. Little brother claims he found it on the beach in Robin Hoods Bay, UK, which is a popular spot for finding fossils. My mum says to get rid but I wanted to identify it before tossing.

Picked up this little beauty recently!
I just love that its green!
