Could be a fossilized fish vertebrae. Looks about the right size and shape.

Could the first one be a Coprolite?

I reckon gastropod as it was in with a lot of shells and sea creatures. Must have been an ancient sea bed. It does look a lot like a pooo though, doesn't it?

 

[Pat Hogen]

You been playing at Lake Rowallan, Dave?

 

[Dave79]

No, little spot on the Tamar.

 

[Danny13]

Looks like a nautalis on the left , the one on the right looks like a clam or muscle .

That's an opportunity I would have to take advantage of. ]

Wish We had some good Fossil areas here, as im quite interested in them... I see nice ones at Gem Shows but can't afford the prices that goes with them...
