0sprey Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I found this weird thing a few weeks ago while fossil hunting at Douglas Point in MD, it's clearly not a fossil, but I have no idea what it could be. The grid in the photo is 1x1 inch, and the whole thing looks and feels like metal but it's lighter than you would expect. My best guess is that someone was melting a lightweight metal for some reason (recycling?) and a stray glob landed on some rocks or debris, creating those hollow spaces? This beach is kind of in the middle of nowhere though, I can't imagine why someone would be doing that. Any guesses welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snolly50 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 It's light? Remains of a beer can tossed in a beach campfire? 1 1 Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
