pambosk Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 In a river 25km from beach.. Well it looks like a huge skull to me, its 60cm long. And I am probably wrong. How ever this river feels fossilferous. the area is registered as pachna formation (miocene 5-23million years) I will attach also a photo of what looks like a piece of wood or bone. Its 1m long and it is found nearby the skull-like piece. They are too heavy to move but if u find any of those interesting I can go there and make more photos thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Pot hole. Seriously, it's what they are called. The current rattling a stone, or stones, in a depression is how they form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I agree with that. You're lucky to be in a country where you can have chances to find an elephanted. We are numerous to forget that Cyprus was related to Africa not so far ago geologically. Our chances to find one in France exist, but it's smaller. Except if you are on the path of Hannibal and his elephants. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

ynot Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The other piece could be petrified wood, but will need to see better pictures of it to be sure. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
