Years ago, (More than 10 now) on a venture to Dauphin Island, AL I came across a deposits of shells, two of which were very surprising to me when I first picked them up. These particular shells were not surface level, but rather slightly buried under a few (~3)inches of beach deposit. When I fully brushed the sand away and got a full view of them, I assumed because of their shape and color they were particularly large modern shells. However as soon as I touched them I realized their weight and density were not that of shell, but much more akin to rock. I’ve asked as many people as I’ve been able to show them to, no one seems to have any understanding (or interest for that matter) in the question. Do these specimens seem like they could possibly be petrified or fossilized? From my purely amateur and ignorant observations, it feels likely. I’d absolutely love to hear anyone’s thoughts and opinions on this! It’s something I’ve been very curious about for years, and I very much appreciate any informed discussion!!
