I have added some pictures of some Speeton bits and pieces.
Particularly interesting are the pyritic inclusions in the fossil
wood. I am no Botanist but I think they must be axillary buds -
although they do look rather like beetle cases!
Also there is a 2cm piece of crinoid stem and a pyritic phragmocone.
I find looking at Speeton "in the small" very productive. Taking away
consolidated blocks of clay and then examining it microscopically at
home has yielded some interesting stuff. I will post further pictures.
BTW - the link in my last post needed the trailing bracket removing -
it should have been:
