Re-Elu Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Found this on a Dutch beach (Zandmotor) 6 months ago. Max. diameter appr. 14 mm. Shape looks somewhat like a pentagon. Two sides have openings in them (marked a and b in pictures), within each opening there there seems to be a bit dividing both openings in two halves. Ar least one of the corners of the pentagon seems to have had a protrusion (stalk, arm?) that has broken off. Encircled in the pictures. Due to the shape, the openings, and the broken off bit this looks like like some echinoderm fossil to me. But which one? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Sorry. This doesn't look like a fossil of any type to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Sorry, but I am not seeing anything fossil related here.

JohnJ Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 It looks more like quartz based rock. 1 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Elu Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Thanks! Off to the garbage bin it is! I guess the seemingly pentagonal shape tricked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
