Hi everyone. Just a quick note to say that my first children's book (which of course is history based) is finally out and available on Amazon and other on-line retailers. It is aimed at ages 5-10, and tells the story of a dog named Biscuit, whose curiosity gets her into trouble and transported back to London in the year 1666. I wrote it as the first in a series and am already working on the next one which will see Biscuit "Helping the Home Guard", so please pick up a copy and spread the word. Thank you!
Ok. So looking for a little help from any geologists or fossil experts out there. Was wondering if anyone can identify this very strange looking item for me. Was given to me by an elderly woman who has had it since she was 6 years old. I have been trying to identify what exactly it is, but can't find it in any of my reference books. The stone measures 8x5cm. Any thoughts?

It also allowed him to dabble in archaeology.
This resulted in him establishing the schools first Field School in British Archaeology and through this make some amazing discoveries. It also allowed him to indulge one of his other great passions - collecting old documents and items of historical interest.
