RyanNREMTP Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Might be part of a shell. Where was it found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 My guess is flint/chert in a limestone matrix. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
