Dandy Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Will upload a scale picture in a minute. Found this at the bottom of a waterfall. It is metal of some description (not magnetic). NSW, Australia These are the best images I can get, sorry. Anyone have any ideas? Edited January 9, 2023 by Dandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 A piece of scrap metal I would say. Not a fossil 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...
Mahnmut Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hello Dandy, Although I do agree that manmade metal trash becomes more and more abundant even in remote areas, one other possibility depending on where you found it is a nugget of bismuth, those do occur in some regions of australia as far as I know, and the fernlike structure visible in the crevice of your find could be a remnant of waterworn crystal structure, similar to what is known in German as "Federwismut" =feather-bismuth. https://www.mineralienatlas.de/lexikon/index.php/MineralData?lang=de&mineral=Wismut Should be quite dense, heavy for its size, then.
