Sloba Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Hi all, My little one found this yesterday in Chelsea, VIC. He has been very curious to find out what this could be. Can anyone give us a clue? Thanks Edited January 20, 2018 by Sloba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Were they found on the beach? Was it a sandy beach, rocky beach and what was the cliff made of? Clay? Also some more pics may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Welcome to TFF! Can You provide more pictures of the other sides and straight on the ends? Please include a scale.

Sloba Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi, thanks for the message. It was a sandy beach, no rocks or cliffs nearby. I will send more pictures as soon as i get back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Sloba, can you post pictures directly to the thread post? It becomes difficult for many members to leave the forum to follow a link. Me being one. Also links can disappear over time and get lost. I can't see your first photo. Second pic, looks like a piece of bone. That may be as far as you can go with ID.

MeargleSchmeargl Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Cannot see images... Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Nor can I see the pictures, but I am fairly confident it is a rock or a fossil with a chance of it being modern or man made. 1 “...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...

Echinoid Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Is it light or heavy? Rough or smooth? Also, does it look like it has been stained/dyed? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Maybe the spinous process of a cetacean vertebra?

ynot Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I agree with abyssunder. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

jhw Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Me too for part of a cetacean vert. Looks old. Could be a fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
