Notidanodon Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I recently found this on the foreshore of warden point, an Eocene, London clay deposit on the isle of sheppey, it has a woody internal structure that the pics don’t really show and it is kind of symmetrical, is it a seed pod, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Not a seed pod. Looks like a marled rock, possibly metamorphic. 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Bobby Rico Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Sorry not a seed pod . You can find a lot of seeds there but large pods are more flat shaped like Nipa palm fruit. I love this location. This looks non biological to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When lobsters burrow they use a saliva like secretion to coat the walls to stabilise them. That gives this layered circular cross section seen here in the bottom picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
