loggerboots Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hi All, I found this on a beach in Puget Sound, Washington. Any chance it's some kind of fossil or is it just a strange rock? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Looks geological to me as well. I’m not seeing a fossil. 1 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilizedJello Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I have to kind of agree..but I personally have never seen a concretion or something "natural" (not a fossil) that has such consistent patterning. I mean the holes are perfect between each section. And the top and bottom border of the (imprint?) are frayed on not rounded. I almost want to say it could be something. I wouldnt knock that its a fossil yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 It's definitely geologic. Not a fossil. Part of a concretion - they are very common in the area.

Ludwigia Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Agreed. Concretions, particularly septarian ones, can be quite symmetric in form. And keep in mind that mineral crystals are not fossils, but are perfectly formed by nature. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
