Help with ID of this big ol clam (found around Whitby/Scarborough coast, UK)

Found this on a uni trip yonks ago, and I can’t remember the exact beach without digging out my field note book. I’m trying to make labels for the display cabinet, so any help appreciated :)

Any ideas on where this Gypsum came from?

Bought it in a mineral shop in Cyprus a few years back, and if there was a label I neglected at the time to take a picture or write it down.

It has a funky “sandwich” sort of growth to it, if that helps at all?

I’m making info labels for my display cabinet now, so if anyone recognises where this piece might have come from that would be great :)

How can I make this sweater fit better?

I got this sweater from a flea market recently and I really love it, but I’m 157cm and most clothes just don’t fit my shoulder area well.
I’m a very novice sewer but an experienced knitter. I know I could undo the seams and frog the knitting to make the fit better, but it’s a vintage sweater and the yarn is a bit felted so I don’t think this would be the way to go.

Maybe someone here who is more experienced with sewing garments be able to guide me a bit with making the V-neck less insane. (Or just tell me it’s not possible so I can cry and let the sweater go to someone else)

Assume the “008” of the marks is for 800 silver, and that the stamps are upside-down relative to the cherubs. Any ideas on the circular mark (makers mark?)? I’m novice at this, obviously 😂

Location: western Norway. It feels like rock, tapped it against my teeth and it still feels like rock. I’m generally ok with fossil ID but haven’t had one of these in the hand before -real or fake- to know what to look for. Paid 99nok for it so no major loss if it’s a decorative replica :)
