aaabbb Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi Found this on Kilve beach amongst all the ammonites. Anyone know if this is a fossil? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFOOLEY Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. I would say no, not a fossil. "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.

FossilDAWG Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 It does not resemble any organism I'm familiar with. I suspect it is human-made, a broken piece of something. Can we see the other side, maybe that will give a clue? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Agree - something man made.

jhw Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I agree. Looks like a broken ceramic piece of some sort. Of what, hard to say? That pattern's kind of a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossiling Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Judging by the rimmed edge it looks like a piece of ceramic. Keep looking! They're everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Could be part of a clutching mechanism from the winch of a fishing vessel. Looks as if it's designed to resist heat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
