Ludwigia Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 No. It's just a mineral staining. Seahorses have anyway only been in existence for about 15 million years and the sediments at your beach (I'm assuming Yorkshire) are a few hundred million years older. 1 3 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

RJB Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Just before opening this I thought to myself, "probably just another rock where someone sees something thats not there", and I rest my case. Would have been super cool if true though. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

val horn Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 sorry no. I think I would call it a dragon and keep it on my shelf. there are alot of fossil tours and group in england. I always like hunting with a group-- both more fun and more successful when you have experts with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
