LynnM Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hello, I was walking along the Bay Of Fundy in New Brunswick, along the Dover area, when I saw something in a cracked-open boulder lying along the side of the road. Anyone have any idea what this might be? I went back this summer to see it again, but it was gone (probably due to erosion...everything on that side seems to be slowly sliding into the mud).

Mediospirifer Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Monkey embryo? More seriously, I have no idea what it is, but it's weird and cool! It's really too bad you weren't able to collect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnM Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hahaha! It is weird, isn't it? The two halves of the boulder probably weighed a lot more than I could carry. In fact, I didn't think it would slide into the Bay, but maybe someone else collected it? I hope so! It's a shame to lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 In the photos, it looks like a void; is this correct? It also appears devoid of symmetry. My best guess: entrained gas bubbles.
