Identification Guides
Identifying your London Clay fish fossil finds can be fairly complicated as fish skulls and skeletons are never perfectly preserved. Sometimes you might just find a section of jaw with a few teeth while on other occasions you might just find an isolated vertebrae. As nothing is ever perfect, below are a series of guides that I’ve created to help you narrow down your fossil finds to make it easier to explore the different species showcased in the Fossils section of the website.
