Golfer

Recommended Posts

Found on beach at lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth Maine. Black color.  I think it looks like a piece of coal.  Has a smooth area, rest of stone is rough. Lightweight 1 ounce. Has shiny elements.

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Looks like coal to me too. It's much to lightweight to even think about turmaline. Just for fun I googled "Cape Elizabeth Maine Coal" and discovered that over half a century ago a freighter full of coal ran aground just off the cape.
