The shape looks a lot like a cone snail. Any possibility that it is a fossilized one? Where was it found or how did you come by it?

Found in the sand, overburdened granite quarry.
This is one of the places where I collect the teeth of ancient sharks and there are traces of the seabed.
This is not a snail or shell.
It is a stone composed of several merged color stone solutions.
* the needle is barely inside

It reminds me more of a product, or a piece of jewelry or so on. BUT AS IT IS MADE, etc. ..?%)

Very interesting find!

When I expand and look at it close up I can see the stony structure, and it says fossil. A very nicely preserved fossil.

It's a fossil cast of a shell. Totally natural.

Shells and shells have a different external and internal structure ..
Inside there is so little space that there is no cancer that can fit))) .
It looks more like a plate rolled up on a machine.
Look carefully at the shape and compare with the shells and understand that this is not it ..
Maybe the photo is bad inside the photo is clear.

Comrade suggested that this is something like the type of cold welding (glue) ABRO is an epoxy glue.
It sounds usual, but for me it looks more like a plate from cold welding or geopolymer concrete than a sink).

in natural shells, the ending is more beautiful, smoothed.
The shape of the rounding is different.
There is an internal cavity. Immediately there is nothing of that, but just a twisted flat sheet of the same thickness.
Needle barely climb there. Hole through, straight.
The upper part of the central curl is broken, so the inner form is poorly understood.

It's no longer a shell, but a cast of the shell. The shell was the mold for this object, made up of sediment. Here are some other examples. cast gast1.jpg cast gast 2.jpg cast gast 3.jpg cast gast 4.jpg

Maybe, similar, but somehow difficult.

if it is a cast, and it is stone, then this stone (of several colors) was filled in there somehow. perhaps this shell witnessed an impact strike?

Maybe the shell - Gloriamaris_186_3.jpg

The stone on the left, in my opinion, was formed by the same process as this curl-cast.
A cast of a shell was also sealed on this stone.
On the right is the same imprint but in the usual cement-sedimentary bottom of the ancient Sea.
It is very interesting to know the process of formation of such things. I’m in search of what left impact craters in my area.
Bottom small pebble, according to my opinion, is a tektite glass.

Hi
If you allow me and I am in the correct section of the forum, then I can continue with similar findings. I do not understand this section a bit.

:headbang: Hi all
Probably petrified, by the same process, a cast of root or reed.
