Jacob L Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 So I’m so eager to find some kind of fossil that at this moment everything looks like a fossil to me. But today on the beach i found this weird formed object about 50 cm deep. Anyone has any idea if this is a stone or a fossil? It is also very light, not stone like at all... found this on Zakynthos, Greece on a beach close to Banana Beach about 30 mins away from the capital.

Auspex Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Maybe man-made? Is this a seam that runs around it?: Could it have been molded of a 'light-weight' material?

No, not a seam it's some kind of small shallow crack. It's not molded, I took a closer look at it but couldn't find any kind of seams. Jacob "God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs.

Ye it’s a rock, when I’m home home I’ll put it under my microscope to see what’s inside those cracks. Thanks for the help tho! 1 Jacob "God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs.
