lulu Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I found this 3 cm long x 2 cm wide x 1-1/2 cm thick curved rock just last week on a southeast Florida beach near the town of Jupiter. Our beaches have a lot of fossil shells, bones and teeth. This nugget was different from my usuals finds- larger and softer looking than a shell fossil. It has a smooth fine grained texture and the end looks “pulled”, not broken. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
