Please identify the fossils from my Pas de Calais trip!

[4044]

Hello! I recently went on a trip to Pas de Calais and found / photographed a lot of fossils. I'd love to get some help with identification!

Info on all:

 

1. The tooth-looking thing is from Pointe aux Oies. It is my only pointe aux oies find. The colour is a pretty pale, creamish white, which makes it look fairly *new*. It is about 2cm long and 0.5-0.7cm wide. It is not curved, but rather straight, tapering evenly at the end. I've gotten preliminary assessments from some amateurs on another website, saying it might be any marine animal tooth, or perhaps a small theropod. I'm very curious to know what it actually is!

 

2. Cap Gris Nez: The only (potential) fossil from CGN is the rock with the black and white crystalline form on it (6 pictures). It's roughly 5-7cm long/3-4cm wide and imprinted in the gray rock.

 

3. The rest of my fossils are from Cap Blanc Nez. I've been told they're mostly sponges. I'm curious about all of them, but very much so in the bone-like elongated one (4 pictures) and the black and yellowish ammonite (?). What periods might they be from? How can I best extract the yellowish ammonite in the grayish-yellow clay without damaging it?

 

Please hlpe me ID! I'm extremely happy about my finds and I'd love to know what they actually are. :)

Please give your photos numbers and match them to the location. This helps us make the ids easier. I'm seeing an ammonite, a bivalve, a gastropod and sponges.

Will do!

I can't find an editing function for the post, so here are the new photos with labels:

Thanks for the details. Here's my 2 cents worth:

CBN 1: Bivalve, perhaps Myophorella sp.

CGN 1: Unidentifiable for me. Perhaps an eroded bivalve.

CBN 2: Unidentifiable shell bits

CBN 3,4,5,6,7,8,11,12,13,14: Probably sponges. The most common one there is Exanthesis labrosus.

CBN 10: Dunno

CBN 15,16,17: Brachiopoden. Can't name the species

CBN 9,18: Ammoniten. Either Mantelliceras sp. or Schloenbachia sp.

CBN 19: Gastropod. Can't name the species.

Thank you! Any idea on the tooth?

might be this one is a nautiloid

 

 

BN18 should be Calycoceras or Mantelliceras, necessary to prep it. More Calycoceras

I'm kind of scared to prep it, never done it before. I did however break plenty of other things on the beach.

Do you have any idea if it'll break very easily? The clay it's in is very soft, I am not sure about the fossil itself. (Scared to try...)

Sorry I missed out on that one. And sorry to say that it's not a tooth. No enamel. Not actually sure what it might be.

Odd! It's kind of soft and has almost no weight.

my vote is: not a fossil, I would assume it will be a fossil in some million years, as it is a modern industrial artefact

What do you mean by industrial artefact? I don't think it's man-made.

not easy to say, I would assume it is modern, part of something technical, but I really do not have an idea. This is what I think when I see it, does not look petrified, looks modern to me
