For #fossilfriday this week here are a selection of #londonclay #fishfossils from the #IsleofSheppey UK.
For #Fossilfriday this week I thought I would share some of my #Londonclay crab collection. Most of them come from the #IsleofSheppey and are #Eocene ( #YPresian ) in age.
This beautiful little #fossilfish was my find of the day from the #Londonclay of the #IsleofSheppey . The fish looks like it could be complete and shows some stunning detail. Preparation will hopefully reveal the skull and more fantastic detail. #londonclayfossil #eocenefossil

The Southern end of Epping Forest is underlain by London Clay and it is riddled with ponds like this, which were once clay pits for brick-making. Firing wasters are used to build garden walls nearby #EppingForest #WalthamstowForest #LondonClay #LondonGeology #E17
Today I found this beautiful example of a #fossil Triodon antiquus beak from the #Eocene , #Londonclay of the #IsleofSheppey .
The preservation is stunning! #fishfossil , #threetoothedpuffer
My most recent big find was this partial #Crocodilefossil ! I'm still picking up small pieces of it a few days later and hoping there is more to wash out (including the skull 🤞). #Sheppeyfossil #Eocene #Londonclay #Crocfossil #IsleofSheppey #Fossil #Fossil hunting
Then there’s the mole plough that pulled through our new irrigation system last winter, starting to resemble the canals on Mars #Londonclay
@CofCNatHistory How about these Notorynchus serratissimus from the Eocene (Ypresian) London clay of the Isle of Sheppey. Cow shark teeth are my favourites 😁 #SharkWeek #Notorynchus #IsleofSheppey #londonclay #eocene #sheppeyfossil #sharktooth #cowshark
