  2. A Sea-urchin shell, found in a low tide rockpool.

    Cleaned of the spines and tube-feet that covered it when it was living, you can see the beautiful details and symmetry of its shell.

  12. Stigmaria - this is a fossilized root section of a Lepidodendron "tree" still embedded in the rock.
    Over 300 million years ago, this area was covered in forest of these large tree-like plants, related to modern Club mosses.

  13. A piece of a Common Sea-urchin (Echinus esculentus) shell. When alive, each of the small white bumps would have had articulated spines attached - between that and their size, they look like spiky grapefruits 😋
    County Donegal, Ireland.

  15. A fossilized root section - Lepidodendron. Over 300 million years ago, while still living, these roots would have helped sustain huge tree-like plants (up to 50m) that thrived in the tropical conditions of the time.

  17. Another multi-holed Hagstone - this one reminds me of the Moai from Rapa Nui (The large statues from Easter Island) but pocket sized.
    It is actually a piece of shale that's been drilled through by Piddocks (marine bivalves).
    County Clare, Ireland.
