TqB Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Lovely thing, perhaps a "squid kiss"? - trace of a cephalopod launching itself from the sea bed.

TqB Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Can anyone help with this one? - I think it's intriguing... Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I cannot place it. What is holding me back from the "squid kiss" idea is the well-defined circle in the center. This just does not match a squid's physiology.

JohnJ Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm inclined to think it is possibly man-made...and old. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 The idea of artifact is very good.The Maltese has been manufacturing fossil replicas since the Neolithic.Just imagine a sea star.

Carl Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 My first reaction was also squid kiss, but it may be hard to be sure with that preservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
