Location: Greece, Crete, Chania coast (NW Crete) Context: beach, in sand Date found: July 2023 Size: 11,5 cm * 8 cm * 3,5 cm Hi! We have found what we think is a fossilised oyster and we want help either confirming or rejecting this. What do you think? is it an oyster? Is it a fossil? How old? What else do you know or think? //Piranhas
