Ratsbaby Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hello, I'm wondering what these are. All three of them are about a centimetre long and around 5 millimetres wide, they were found on Skegness beach, on the eastern coast of Lincolnshire, UK. They are roughly cylindrical and ribbed, with the cross-section being a kind of star shape. look forward to hearing back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I agree with eroded crinoid stems. I actually think they look pretty neat. Necklace material maybe?
