A fossilised toad or frog.
I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK... they know me here.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Stanley's right with fossilised eggs, but not from a reptile. A clue - they're small, the whole area of eggs is about the size of a thumb.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
None of those, but you're getting closer. Those shown in my photo are regarded as the best preserved examples so far found. Clue: I met the man who found them on my recent holiday.

Fossilised bits of my brain which fell out of my head whilst tearing my hair out trying to figure this out.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
They are the eggs of one of the most well-known creatures that are found as fossils in the UK. So, which one?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Crinoid eggs? Seen plenty of crinoids but I'm not aware of seeing their eggs. Related to starfish.
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
No. Keep trying. You're right to be thinking of marine creatures. I'm not giving a clue because you'll soon get the answer. What else was swimming around in those ancient waters?

Trilobites.
The original creepy crawlie creature! Make me shudder.
No Graham, these are:
AMMONITES! AMMONITE EGGS!

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
That's the right answer, well done! Although we all know of ammonite fossils and would easily recognise an adult one, we've never knowingly seen fossil ammonite eggs before. I took this photo at the Etches Collection Museum in Kimmeridge. Steve Etches has spent his life around that village and beach studying and collecting the fossils and finding this specimen was like all his birthdays came at once! There's more about ammonite eggs on Wikipedia here: Ammonite eggs and the Etches Collection has a web site here: Etches Collection

Right track China, there's a furnace below, but not cement.
