A Sunday trip to the part of Runswick beach where fossils are to be found. Blog daughter casually anounces that she has 'found an ammonite'. Here it is...
A Hilderocas, about 6 inches across (which is one big ammonite), complete and with only a little rock matrix to be picked off. Good find. A passing tourist also found an icthyosaur vertebra.
Coming next, Jurassic CSI.

Fantastic!
Hi, I was wondering if this was perhaps "Hildoceras"? As in "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildoceras"?
Will this specimen be polished to show it deep, rich colours or will it be kept in it's natural state?
Great find!
