abyssunder Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The excellent pictures show me a silex type pebble with weathered percussion marks. No doubt. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Not an artifact or fossil, I agree, but it's a nice conversation piece.

Poor Richard Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Extra Extra, read all about it!! As I said a beat up phone and a few bits and pieces. I had forgotten my wife got me these for jewellery casting etc I am taking up...I digress... Lads this thing seems to be changing. It's officially some reptilian head. You can see the colours, the patterns, the scales and possibly even a forked tongue peaking out. It's absolutely spectacular under the loupe. I'm not kidding, I've only briefly looked while replying to folks. Once again I do appreciate all the replies, if it is going to surprise yous then imagine how I feel!! I now need to ask for help to be able to get to yous, if yous want to see the pebble Evolving? Can anyone advise how to get the best photographic results? I'll do my best but any advice with lighting etc would help. Or I'll YouTube it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Trilo Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I think the images you have provided are sufficient. It is not any sort of artifact nor reptilian head, its a pebble, 100% “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Richard Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Wow. Okay I give up. I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 And it has come to that time, where further discussion serves no purpose, whatsoever. The OP has his mind made up, and we will not change it. We also know what he has, despite his claims to the contrary. Best to take the item to the nearest museum, and have them look at it in hand. Best of luck to Richard.
