Ancient use of stone from the Cleveland dyke at Stainsby beck

I made an earlier post showing the Cleveland dyke at Stainsby beck in the south west Cleveland area, i now after further visits and research believe the stone was taken from this outcrop and used at least in the nearby area.
Ive found large amounts of the stone that seem to have been used as dams of some sort in at least four different locations, all upstream from the dyke exposure, I've found no historical reference to the dyke being utilized at this exposure point at Stainsby, so can only imagine it was a very long time ago.

I will be researching this area a lot more in the future as i believe it has a hidden and yet unknown history.

Comparisons

Hello all if anyone with an interest in my finds, or the geology i am finding them in has any information that they think may help, please post comment and i would be most happy to post any comparative images.
I hope that once properly identified the fossil bone on this site can be used as accurate reference for anybody needing it for there own research, as i know how hard it can be to get trusted comparisons and information.

Very large Bovine jaw

Hello all i found this large fossil bovine jaw yesterday.

 It measures 380 mm long with at least 60 mm missing, and 150 mm tall with about 60 mm missing from the top, weighing 750 grams dry.

 I believe it to have been a young animal as its first and 4th teeth are not fully developed yet.

 The only damage i can see i believe like most of my other bones was caused by Geological pressure while its been buried.

More fossil bone

I found these yesterday like all the fossil bone i have been finding there heavily mineralised.

 They include what i believe to be a very large bovine metacarpal measuring 230 mm, 9 inches long, 75 mm wide, weighing 525 grams.

 Also a worked rib, and large ulna fragment.

 I have no idea what this bone belonged to, but i think its a tibia.

 This antler piece is very heavy weighing 375 grams.

 The two large tibia probably belonged to deer or bovine, ime having difficulty seeing a specific difference when comparing large deer and bovine tibia.


Ive just noticed this old post and although it was created as best i could at the time, it is a poor example, most of these bone pieces are now in the possession of the local Junior school, and i have not yet had chance to re take better images, but i will leave this post open, and will post the new improved images and explanations.
