hi all!! i've just come back from poking through hornsea beach (england uk) and i have a small bag of finds. i'm quite new to identifying fossils so any help would be so very much appreciated!! thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

 

hornsea beach's cliffs are made up of boulder clay and are said to be good for erratics.

7. curious as to whether this one is just a quartz deposit or something else? there are two on the front and one long one on the back.

8. a brachiopod? this one is a little iridescent when turned in the light, the picture doesn't capture this very well!
