umm
I haven’t seen a pliosaur or an icthyosaur opalised fossil but I’ve found icthyosaur vomit which similar to an owl pellet, contains a clump of belemnites. Didn’t realise it at the time and broke it up for the belemnites.

That can’t be from your collections! Eric is said to be unique.
You’ve prompted me to take a photo of my fossil collection (not opalised) tomorrow. I may even have one opalised fossil somewhere. It’s not a big collection.

It isn’t Eric. He’s a Pliosaur.
Plessie is a Plesiosaur. and from White Cliffs. I know the man who found it.
the photo, is from my collections as is the pineapple from my collections of other people’s photos.
The others are from what I found and photographed.

As for what people make jewellery from, I polished and wrapped wire around the belemnite. I gave it to my daughter.

“Opalized Plesiosaur A treasure from White Cliffs, N.S.W., Australia: an 8.5 foot long opalized skeleton of a plesiosaur known as Plessy Neck.”

The belemnites I later found to be a spew up of an icthyosaur’s version of an owl’s pellet. Shame I broke them up to find the better ones. The best one I gave to my daughter.
The opalised annelids is a 2“sq bit of amazement. I’ve seen nothing like it anywhere other than in my hand.

Lovely!
I won’t be photographing my fossils because I can’t find them all. In total: one dinosaur bone from Queensland, one opalised wood, ammonite from Yorkshire, fossil fish from Wyoming, and three or four petrified wood from Wollongong. I did once have a glossopteris leaf from Wollongong, but haven’t seen that in many years.
Unless one cages them in a glass case. fosills have a habit of disappearing. I’ve got quite a few but they are usually small and have that habit of not being seen until you find them again.
