It’s really wonderful what you possibly can choose up at a carboot sale: I truthfully consider that you could possibly finally discover completely something you wanted / wished when you searched recurrently. (For instance, I purchased a pair of Carlboro energetic foldback audio system that we use at Synergy gigs for simply £30 and an Orange 20W observe amp for a fiver!)
At present I purchased two giant and beautifully-preserved fossil belemnites for a pound the pair: they’re the greyish ones within the picture. (The opposite price fairly a bit extra from a rock and mineral present.)
Belemnites had been squid-like cephalopods that turned extinct in the direction of the tip of the Cretaceous Interval: they’d an inside ‘pen’ like a contemporary squid or cuttlefish which was laborious sufficient to turn into fossilised.
