Spectrum Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hello, I found this yesterday in Folkestone and was wondering if anyone can help identify whether or not it is a fossil. It is 11cm long, 4 cm wide. It seems to be fully mineralised, it pings like flint when knocked on something hard. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I think it's an ironstone concretion I found many odd shaped concretions at Folkestone 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It looks like a sandstone concretion, maybe similar to "sand spike". picture from here 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
