Possible fossil? found in Devon, UK


GinkgoBiloba

Recommended Posts

Hello all, I found an interesting looking rock while walking along a forest path in mid Devon, and think it could be a fossil of some kind. If someone could give me an idea of what this is, I would be grateful! Please let me know if you need additional photos/information.

 

Apologies if it's just a rock.

On further searching I think it's just load casts. I got excited because to me it resembled a paddle of some sort. Classic Pareidolia I guess. Oh well! on the bright side the pond gets a new rock!

"Just a rock" makes some of us, who are as interested in geology as paleontology, chuckle.

 

Not that I don't understand what you're saying. :)

It really looks like a load cast and it could be a nice example. :)

Still it's a very interesting rock, I would have picked it up and brought it home... unless my kids beat me to it, then they'd bring it home lol
