Hey everybody,

 

as a newbie i'm a bit excited :-)... So i hope i'll can give you all the informations which are relevant.
The object was found 3 days ago in the Stoltera nature reserve (54.176962, 12.005744). It stucked out from the cliff which was formed from glacial deposits.

It is 8,5 cm/3,15 inch long, has a diameter of 2,3 cm/0,9 inch and weighs 92 grams.

What could that be?

This looks like a shrimp burrow like Ophiomorpha. Could tbe cliff be a raised beach?

This is the trace fossil Ophiomorpha nodosa in an ironoxide (limonite) cemented sandstone.

Regarding the location: most probably a glacial erratic (Geschiebe) from Palaeogene.

 

And regarding the location: Stolteraa Cliff runs from W Warnemuende up to Geinitzort. You are round about 350m westward of the end of the Stolteraa Cliff on your picture. Quaternary geology is much more simple at the site of your picture than in the Stolteraa section.
