Septarean nodule

I excavated this piece from what i think is reworked mercia mudstone, at Stainsby beck Thornaby on tees.

The darker shapes contain white crystals.

The piece contains a lot of small fossils.

     

Mineralised Antler piece

Found this Antler piece today, it weighs 800 grams dry, at first i thought it to be Cervus Elephus, but ime not certain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ancient bone handle

 

 

The worked bone looks to be a lower leg bone, from what ime not sure, i was once told by a person from Durham University that this piece contained a metal blade once, ive checked the insides with rare earth magnets and a microscope, and can find no reason, for this conclusion.
