I can't help on this, but Lucy has pointed out that Adrian Rundle has written a book on Sheppey fossils, if you don't have it. It's a Rockwatch guide, "A pocket guide to the London CLay exposed on the north shore of the Isle of Sheppey, Kent", and it's available on Amazon. If you don't know Adrian, he's an astonishing collector... among his hobbies is reconstructing Mesozoic ophiuroids from disarticulated ossicles in clays!
These are superb pieces, though - semi-complete bits of any of this group is pretty rare, I understand.
