Miocene_Mason Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I'm leaning toward geological, there's nothing to suggest otherwise, were about was it found? “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Looks like a fragment of a shell. Not enough to say what type. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
