Looks like a fossil "cast" from the inside of a shell. Neat.

Kinda looks like a piece of ravioli, too. Mm. I do love ravioli.

That's pretty cool...I wish I had saved all the fossils I found as a child in South Carolina..When they were digging the borrow pits to make I-26 going through Charleston, we would go down into the pit, which were 14-20 feet deep and as large as a corn field., and find fossilized shells, sharks teeth, blistered glass from ateroids and all kinds of ocean related things....

I only learned how to do it fairly late, chasing shark teeth in the dredge spoil material, back in '99 or thereabouts.  I have a box of fossils I haven't identified- some apparently come from land animals in addition to the marine stuff like the shark teeth and whalebone and such.  I guess in a coastal area like this where the coastline fluctuated back and forth over the past few million years, it shouldn't be surprising to find marine fossils on land and land fossils in the underwater dredge material.

Well also fossil hunting helps me clear my mind and relax when i've had a stressful day

i find most of my fossils in a earthen drainage ditch about 100 or so yards from my house, and i also flint hunt in that area and have found many interesting flint pieces

So it's a good place to hunt

I found a mastadon molar here when they were building one of the bridges that I 95 crosses....It was barely sticking out of the sand when I saw it.....It literally desintigrated when I dug it up...I was holding it in my hand and it started crumbling...to nothing...:(

It happens when fossils are so fragile that any sort of movement can destory them

One has to be careful when removing fossils cause you never can tell if the fossil is fragile or not
