Nice specimen! Can't help with IDs of stuff from this age (well, I can recognise a Gryphaea!). I've done a brief bit of googling, and found this site www.soton.ac.uk/~imw/Fleet-Lagoon.htm - one of the many useful pages Ian West has done. There's quite a comprehensive bibliography, so if you have access to a library it might be worth your while having a look at some papers. |

Ditto - hi again, Reighan! Hope you're well, and that we'll be seeing some more of your finds?

Hi Bill,
With the nice apical disc on the first one it looks very much like Acrosalenia hemicidaroides - it's in British Mesozoic Fossils.

Hi (and Welcome), All
Yikes, what a surprise! I have some catching up to do. :-)
Joe, I'm finally beginning to carry (nonfossiliferous) rocks back to the beach. The next step will be to look at (and maybe photograph) the ones I can't part with.
