Nature.calls88 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Found this odd concretion possibly a jellyfish. It was at washburne state park on oregon coast. It was in the sand mostly exposed thought it was trash at first a Frisbee or piece of styrofoam. But it's definitely stone, and was a week or two after our beaches were covered in a wash of jellyfish. No room to step between them even in most spots. This was found in the sand all the way at the back of the beach near the end of the sand that then hits the dune area and cliffs. I am wondering if it is of a jellyfish, maybe one that washed back further and stuck while the rest got swept back out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Forum. A fossil will generally take millions of years to form, not a matter of weeks. This looks like water-worn stone. Perhaps a close-up photo of the small white circular feature on the middle right may point to something of interest. 4 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Unfortunately, not a jellyfish fossil. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
