Emoley Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Does anyone have any idea what this might be? I found it on the beach Galveston Island, Gulf side west. February 2020 on a grey and windy day. I am new here, where ever we have traveled my head has always been down in the hope of finding new treasures. To hold a relic of ancient times in your hand is something very special.

Emoley Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Ooo that’s exciting! Thank you both. At first I convinced myself it was a bryozoan but when I blew up the pictures I realized there was more structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
