My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Panama. While walking along the beach at the Playa Bonita Village resort during low tide, she found the rock in the attachments. It is approximately 8cm in length. Is it possible to identify this rock? She would like to keep it as a reminder her of our time in Panama.

Thank you
Brian and Diane Krupicka

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Brian! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) so if you ask a question, etc. - people may have more success helping you (if necessary)...

It appears to be a sedimentary concretion. Sedimentary rocks are in essence concrete's of mud. A fine souvenir if you like it and a good memory.
