Febriant Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I found this thing 15 years ago in my backyard. I'm not sure what it is and just wondering it might be fossil. It feels like stone but have a strange texture, doesnt look like a regular stone. If you have any idea what is it, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
