Oxytropidoceras Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Is This a Giant Seahorse Fossil? Alex Kasp, Snopes, September 15, 2017 http://www.snopes.com/giant-fossil-seahorse/ http://www.snopes.com/category/facts/photos/ Also, it seems implausible that a person would find such a fossils on a corestone. A paper about real fossil seahorse can found in: Teske, P.R. and Beheregaray, L.B., 2009. Evolution of seahorses' upright posture was linked to Oligocene expansion of seagrass habitats. Biology letters, p.rsbl20090152. (Open Access) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2781918/ Yours, Paul H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Alas, photoshop contest entries often get victimized by idiots trying to create attention by deeming them as valid evidence of ridiculous claims. There are hundreds of examples of them. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!
