Location: Vestavia Hills, AL Paleozoic While inspecting this rock, a tiny barb pricked my finger. Initially, I was thinking it was a tiny piece of plant debris superficially attached. However, as more of the area became exposed after cleaning, it appears to be clearly embedded. Also, additional similar areas became exposed. Unclear if they are part of the same thing or separate inclusions. My wild guesses: Spicule? Small arthropod leg (though I realize that is in likely to be preserved)? Bryozoa? Thoughts? Last 2 pics: Potential related debris sifted and sorted for after soaking. Thanks for taking a look

Let me show off this recent find. Some of the beaches in the Netherlands are reinforced with sand dredged up from the North Sea bottom. The sediments are mainly early Holocene and late Pleistocene. Mammoth bones etc are quite common. If you are lucky you may find nice mesolithic artefacts as well. Many barbed points have been found over the years as well as worked bone, antler etc. The age is ca 9.000 - 7.000 years old. Enjoy. Regards, Niels
