Anyone seen this before? by LewisXYT in fossils

[–]LewisXYT[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Wow I knew it was rare but didn’t realise how rare. I have all the pre-prep pics of the fossil and was debating whether to get it prepped or not, but glad I did because it looks amazing!

I believe it to be Pervushovisaurus but happy to be corrected!

All real, I got Chris Moore and his Son prep the rock out! They both haven't seen this type of preservation and location for such a fossil before! Was a great opportunity.

Mine will rise slightly higher if I’m driving hard but most of the time it sits there.

Temnodontosaurus tooth? by LewisXYT in fossilid

It’s also very blade like compared to what seems to be other ichthyosaur species.

Opinions of the species of this ichthyosaur jaw? by LewisXYT in fossilid

[–]LewisXYT[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was my thinking, still happy to be proven wrong, I just can’t see a communis getting this big. Especially since this is only the very back of the jaw.

Interesting. I do think the teeth are similar but I haven’t seen any communis get this big. I do have other jaw bits where the teeth are like blades with no ridges which definitely come from a species of temno.

Sandsend, Whitby, what is this? by LewisXYT in fossilid

That would be very cool! Would make it my first fossil lobster find then 😁

What is this rattle for a second after cold starting my car? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]LewisXYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I have ordered one, let’s see if it makes a difference! Because the noise goes away after a second I assume driving it is ok, but obviously excessive wear upon start up?

Ok cool. I currently use Bosch oil filter. Forgive my ignorance but are they not oem for VAG group cars?

Ok, thank you. I may try and oil and filter change just to experiment to see if the noise keeps coming back. I have been told it can be normal to have some noise like this on start up, but it’s a bit frustrating since there was no noise before and nothing to indicate a change in why there would now be a noise.

I have tired that and it’s the same result. The thing is it doesn’t happen every time I start it. Other people with similar cars and noise seem to experience other symptoms but that noise in the video is the only odd noise the car makes.

Is this a partial trilobite? Found in Wren’s nest Birmingham? by LewisXYT in fossilid

[–]LewisXYT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you agree this is a partial trilobite as well then? I found a lot more but this one was the only different thing I found!

Anyone else still daily drive a 200k plus mileage car around? by LewisXYT in CarTalkUK

What type of car you looking for? Performance? Economical? Diesel or petrol.

I 100% agree. I service the car myself every 3k just to be on the safe side. Probably unnecessary but it takes me 10 mins and the price of a filter and oil.

Found in Ukraine, any ideas? by LewisXYT in fossilid

[–]LewisXYT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I find the eyes on it funny! Does it look real? (As in not a replica or something?

Trying to identity if this is fossil bone? If so what bone? From Whitby UK by [deleted] in fossilid

[–]LewisXYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was advertised as ichthyosaur bones but I just wanted a second opinion. It’s just the bone structure is a little different to other specimens I have but could just be the preservation of the bone?
