gjclayton Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Hi there! I'm new here although I've been into fossils since I was a youngster! I managed to grab the following example on the south coast of Kent in the UK which is known for fossilised wood and footprints and bones etc. I thought it might be a fossilised tree limb or small trunk. What do you think? Any guidance very gratefully received! Thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Welcome to TFF! Does not look like a fossil, wood or bone. I think it is a concretion. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

gjclayton Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Ah thanks! It's quite a sculptural thing so even if it's not wood it looks good standing up. Might give it a polish to finish it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
