Found on beach. Could it be an artifact🤔

[Omaisel]

HI EVERYONE,

I'm new to the forum my name is Oscar.

My brother and myself were out looking for fossils on the beach, and I found this rock. Now to me it definitely doesn't look natural, and I was wondering if anyone might know if it is an Indian artifact and or what it might be.

Thank you in advance.

Welcome!

sorry but that is a natural piece and not an artifact. Can’t think of what they are called tho.

Geofact? Yeah thought so, but better to be safe��. Thank you

Looks like a prehistoric pair of lopsided testicles.

 

[Omaisel]

Haha, yeah it really does. Maybe I should post it in the fossils section lol

As already said, it is not an artifact and it is not a fossil. It is a mineralized form of nodule that is normally in a single round specimen, but they are also found fused together in two or more per nodule.

Thank you guys! I suspected so, but like I said better to be sure

Yeah i have to agree they are called concretions. Here is a really nice one made of calcite.

These are the nodules that old digger is probably talking about.

Killer rock, regardless

That would still be a keeper.
