Fossil

Fossil
During a walk along the pebbled beach at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire I found this small pebble with a fossil on it.

I thought it was worth taking home to photograph. Please view large for the best detail.

The PiP shows the same stone next to a measuring tape for scale.

Blumin heck, I would never have imagined this to be over 4m (16ft) wide :)

What a brilliant find and well worth keeping. It is many years back now that I last found a fossil. It looks a little like a starfish with a missing leg but.... yes I know!

Well done. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Herb

It is called 'Sanddollar'
Der Begriff „Sanddollar“ leitet sich vom Aussehen der Skelette toter Tiere ab, die an Land gespült wurden. Dem Sanddollar fehlt die samtartige Stachelhaut und er ist oft durch Sonnenlicht weiß gebleicht.
Strandgutsammler der Vergangenheit ließen sich dadurch an eine große Silbermünze erinnern, wie zum Beispiel den alten spanischen Dollar mit einem Durchmesser von 38–40 mm.
