New Members ppolsen Posted August 31, 2014 New Members Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hello, Me my girlfriend and I found this pebble on Brighton beach. I looks like some kind of squid tentacle impression. Hope someone could tell us what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 These fascinating marks are an impression of an echinoid (sea urchin) test (shell). The main pits are where the spines attached.

BobWill Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Welcome to the forum. That impression has excellent preservation. So often the details are worn off. There's no turning back now...if you weren't a collector before, welcome to your new obsession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
