Have I found a fossil?
2.5 years ago, I was walking along the beach collecting sea shells when I found this, I didn't give it too much interest until now. Do you think it's a fossil?
![]() Here I put a single picture since I don't wish anyone to wait until all pictures show up in a browser. Here are more pictures, please take a look, 1. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/8669/image28zb.jpg 2. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/807/image35ja.jpg 3. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/699/image40hf.jpg 4. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9630/image53nh1.jpg 5. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7576/image66xs.jpg 6. http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/7426/image72jm.jpg 7. http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7476/image81aj.jpg That's it. I'm looking for any comments and various responses. Thanks, |

It is an ooparite, they turn up in all kinds of strange places, can be anything
from 5 million years old to present. http://www.bio.psu.edu/home/directory/homepages/crf2 |

I'm gonna agree with evo. It doesn't look like a fossil one either.
What's an ooparite Wolram? I've never heard one one and I can't find anything on google. |

What's an ooparite Wolram? I've never heard one one and I can't find anything on google it is a rather obscure term used by us experts on fossiles, to describe this so and so, it just does not fit the norm. |

Ooparite - ancient cave-dwelling creature that gained an advantage by evolving class inheritance, encapsulation and data modeling. The most successful surviving ooparite is the Javaite or the more rare C++ite.

Are you sure that's not Ivan's long-lost baby blanket?

Thanks for responses,
But now, suppose, I didn't say I've found it on the beach. Would you still think it's an oyster's shell? (part of it) What do you suggest I do with it? |
