Beachcombing again - Marazion fossils 🦈

So after a long day of working in the garden , Ricardo surprised me with a picnic down at Marazion . I was so tired that I almost fell asleep in the car .

.... and I just had a little pootle about on the beach .

The sun was beginning to go down .

Beachcombing is just the very best therapy for me . 

Usually picking up nice drift wood , string or heart shaped stones or funny face stones and sea glass .

                 💗  Heart Stones 💗

                    🤣 Funny Face Stones  👻 He's spooky !

Sometimes I just find ..er ... nose stones  🤣

When we are on the Isle of Wight or Lyme Regis ,we find awesome fossils 🦖🦈🦕

Well Marazion , is famous for semi precious gem stones and although said to be Devonian , it is pretty rare to find any fossils  . 

I have only found one fossil in over thirty years .

I talked about this in an earlier post. We are still not sure what it is . If it is Devonian , then it could be a tooth from a very scary armour-plated fish like a Dunkleosteus . 

It also very much looks like a spine from an armoured dinosaur such as a Polacanthus or Ankylosaur . ..but they weren't around yet in the Devonian period , so if it was that , then it could possibly have rolled down from the Isle of Wight which is Cretaceous . 

Anyway .....I found another fossil !

It has been a miserable , dark and drizzly old day , so I lit the lanterns  and took a few pics for you .

It's not as exciting as my first one , it is a very sea worn gryphaea mollusc  . 

I know , it's not the most exciting find in the world , but it is rare to find fossils at Marazion  , so I was thrilled to find it ! 

Moving swiftly on .... "What's in the jar Debbie ?" 

So this is a jar of  real treasure .... beautiful sea glass ....that I have collected with my grandchildren .

           Now then ....if I turn the jar on it's side ..lets see what we can see ...

.........and with the help of Grandma's little magic torch .....

                            Isn't that cool ? !!  

                       I knew you'd like that !  🤣

 

                          A beautiful Uranium glass bead !   😃
