@BoyScott1 Fantastic! In that case definitely a palaeothere from the Osborne Marls Member of the Headon Hill Formation, either the genus Plagiolophus or Palaeotherium!

@BoyScott1 Certainly a tooth fragment. The conical rounded shape may indicate a crocodilian tooth.

@BoyScott1 Hi, thanks for tagging us in your finds I’ll try and provide as best an ID as I can for each one.

This is certainly a large theropod tooth fragment! With a close up picture of the serrations we may be able to ID it further 👍🏼

@IOWFossils thanks to your inspiration we found a caudal vert at Yaverland. Poss Mantellisaurus according to helpful staff at Dinosaur Isle museum

Wet and windy weather battered our coastline this week! Perfect for finding Isle Of Wight dinosaur bones like this small vertebra, washed up at Brook Bay! #IsleofWight #dinosaur #dinosaurs #palaeontology #fossils
