This large worn Ammonite section was dug from the top of the gravel beds along with the slab with the Gryphaea trace.
Not sure what this is yet?
This ulna piece was found over 2 metres into the gravel bed, it seems to have a hole created by a fang and other teeth marks.
Unknown radius
Unknown vertebrae
Note the instant colour and shine once these bones are simply washed and dried.
I found these rib pieces today in my main excavation at Stainton beck, the end of one of the ribs can be seen just below the end of the tool. Other parts of the two ribs fell away as i removed the clay, they can be seen in the top right of the image.
The image above shows one rib above the other in the centre.
This image shows the sandy clay layer that contained the bones now removed, the layers above and there are at least two were created by the last actions, of the retreating ice of the last major cold stage.
I found this rib piece over 2 metres into this dig, just above the packed gravels.
I also found what i think is a fragment of a distal tibia.
There are at least six different layers in this excavation, including the ever present red clay beneath the gravel layer. These two layers are to be found at all the locations i have excavated in the south west area of Cleveland, so i now think there is more than a good possibility that this sequence of layers extend from at least Stainton to Ormesby beck in the cypress road area of Marton Middlesbrough.
The fact that this cobble attracts the magnet, and others I've tested in the old Stainton quarry workings, makes it clear that for some reason the dyke stone in the Stainton area has a different make up than that of other stretches of the dyke, one being the outcrop about a mile north west at Stainsby beck, the dyke stone in the outcrop did not hold the same magnet, yet a layer of broken down whinstone laying between two separate clay deposits above the dyke outcrop was all magnetic?
I found this recently how and why it was among the magnetic whinstone i am studying at the moment i have no idea. 
I am told these burrow nodules usually contain fossils but flint is new to me , and at the moment i don't quite know what to look for !?
I think its a beautiful piece almost alien in appearance.
These are the latest deposits uncovered at Stainton with the red clay bottom then gravels, then an organic layer.
There is what i believe to be a natural spring shown to the left.
