RobJ52 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hi folks! I'm a total newbie at this but found an unusual block at West Runton beach, Norfolk. It's 3" x 1" x 1" approx, with a clearly defined print on one face. The whole block is quite uniform in colour, but there appears to be an underlying structure which can be seen at a couple of corners. I've not seen anything remotely like it at West Runton before so it stands out a bit. My best amateurish guesses are either solidified baked mud or some kind of skin print- but given the find location I'm not sure either are very likely! I hope someone can be more definite!

Rockwood Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Looks like weathering of a sedimentary rock which accentuated the pattern. I'm not sure if drying is how the pattern was created though. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Certainly not skin at any rate. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
