| description |
|
| From my own personal collection comes this exceptional specimen that consists of a shark's egg case which rests upon a plant frond. This combination is extremely rare as one is land based and the other was laid in water. The specimen is in a split nodule and was found at the now filled in open cast mine of Crock Hey. |
