Merci beaucoup Keith pour tes visites
J'ai presque le même je faisais la collection..des fossiles
c'est un fossile d'Oursin( fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinoidea)

You're welcome Ronald.........my pleasure.

Glad you like my little fossil find............thank you so much for the information.

Extraordinary Keith, what luck to find something like that by chance on the beach. Great the PiP, so you have the perfect scale.

Thank you Jean-Paul............I was actually looking for sea glass to photograph, but couldn't find any, so this fossil did nicely.

i love your still lifes!

Thank you very much Annemarie.........you're very kind.

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

I had to hire a low loader to get it home :-)))

Anyway..........glad you like this one Herb. Thanks for your kind comments.

What a great find, Keith! Looks fantastic.

A pebble with a fossil which looks like an ancient star fish!
Fascinating and as always, very finely photographed!

It was a very lucky find Adele..............glad you like it too. Thanks for stopping by and leaving such nice comments. Much appreciated.

Have a good week ahead!

As Herb said 5m 16ft that's a very big pebble Keith .
Have a great day TOZ

Yes, I had to hire a low loader to get it home TOZ :-)))

The set resembles a sea urchin with its orange color when opened
Beautiful image, Keith!

Thank you very much Judite..........glad you like my fossil find and photos. Very much appreciated.

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.

Thank you very much for the information aNNa........you're very kind. I was lucky to find it!

I was actually looking for some sea glass to photograph, but couldn't find any............this little fossil was a nice bonus!

Great find and image Keith.

Thank you Maggie..........glad you like it..!!

Au début j'ai pensé à un selfie . )))) non je suis un peu dur!!!Belle trouvaille******

Oooh, that's a bit harsh :-)))

Glad you like it really though..........thanks very much Jean-louis..!!

C'était juste une plaisanterie Keith!! Bonne soirée .

Haha..........I guessed that Jean-louis :-)))

C'est trés joli keith. Tu as trés bien fait de le photographier. Je pense moi aussi voir "l'empreinte" d'une étoile de mer. Si je laisse mon imaginaire vagabonder je vois un pain (un pain Français bien sûr)

I thought so too Jean Paul..............and I'm glad you like the photos. I think you see pretty much what I do..............except for the bread! Maybe a cookie though :-)))

I do love them and have always liked fetching them
since I was a little girl

Thank you Christel..........I hope you found this one interesting!

Und ich dachte im ersten Moment, das ist ein Brot! ;-D

Ha, ha............I can see why!

Solch ein schönes Fossil hätte ich auch mitgenommen.
Toller Fund!
