JamieC7696 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 These are three finds, made on my local Suffolk coastline (UK), that I'd please like identified... The first of these ('1') has flat, shiny surfaces - but I suspect it to be 'just' a nice-looking rock; the second ('2') I'm not too sure what it is; and the third ('3') is definitely either coral or, less likely, bone - for it's incredibly light for its size, and it feels almost hollow... 1.

That's interesting - especially with regards to the last one: I'll certainly learn something new here... So, what is '3'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 The first one might have some texture that could offer more clues. Additional photos might help. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 #3 could very well be slag of some sort. Some can be very light. Or possibly even pumice. 1 1 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 It looks a lot like vesicular basalt with dried roots or grass stuck to it. But I think Suffolk is not right for much in the way of igneous rocks. Whether man made or natural, they do look like gas bubbles to me. 1 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

I was thinking the same thing, it looked igneous but I didn’t think the geography was right for it. Manmade slag? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
