Rypick Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I found this rock on a Lake Ontario beach in New York. I'm primarily curious about the heart-shaped outlines. Thanks! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombk Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 You also have a cross section of a gastropod that I’ve circled in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypick Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Thanks @tombk. I actually knew that one, but was unsure about the other shapes. I found several rocks with that sort of cross section. Here's one of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
