New Members MartinWeston Posted October 30, 2018 New Members Share Posted October 30, 2018 During a recent trip to Norfolk in the UK I found myself looking through rock pools when the tide was out and realised there were at least three circular formations which were spread over the chalk surface but were made up of what looked like rocks fused together. Is it possible they are a series of prehistoric nests for dinosaur eggs? I have enclosed some photos. I look forward to hearing from you.

Walt Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 My first thought is stromatolites. This google image is of a similar ring in Australia. Yours are fossils, of course. But wait for more knowledgeable folks to weigh in. And welcome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 They are fine examples of paramoudra flints, ring-shaped formations originating as trace fossils. 5 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
