ag927 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Any chance someone knows what these are? They are most probably Holocene-aged (last 12,000 years). They come from a dry playa lake setting (inland) in India - the Thar Desert. Size is about 1mm wide, and 1.5+mm long... there is a funny raised hollow insert. Would love to get some tips!

Innocentx Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Phytoliths are an incredibly interesting occurrence and worth reading up on. Classification is difficult, though. "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
