lovec Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hi again today, here is something what really is not concretion. lol. Its from somewhere the southern coast of Europe beach, dont know exectly. The second object has a surface similar to that of the raw agate crust, I try it to catch it on photos... So what you can think about it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander D.G Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The fossils are a bit to weatherd to get a clear id or any id really, but they are most definitely shell fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The one encased in the rock is a gastropod which is as far as I can get with an ID and the "holy moly" next to it is so far gone there really isn't enough left to get any proper ID on.

ynot Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I think the "holly" piece is an agate/chalcedony not a shell. The one in matrix is a gastropod, but would need to be exposed to make an id. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

abyssunder Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The first specimen looks to have a lot of borings, especially pholad borings (bioerosion), so it might come from the sea. OP said it is from a beach. The second one is a gastropod, weathered in the way that the columela is nicely exposed.
