Rabbit Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Found this on the beach in Lewes, DE. It's 3cm long, 0.5cm thick and 2cm at the wider end. The lines are raised. Curious if it is some sort of plant fossil. Thanks for any help in identifying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolutionary War-era coins and other artifacts can be found there. Ditto coin beach on the north side of the Indian River Inlet. For a nifty free museum, hit the Shipwreck museum on Fenwick Island.

Rabbit Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Well, it's very cool looking. Guess we'll have to start a rock collection too. I'll be sure to check out the other places you mentioned as well. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
