FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 A six-year-old boy has found a fossil dating back millions of years in his garden after receiving a fossil-hunting kit for Christmas. Siddak Singh Jhamat, known as Sid, said he was excited to find the fossil in his garden in Walsall after digging for worms. “I was just digging for worms and things like pottery and bricks and I just came across this rock which looked a bit like a horn, and thought it could be a tooth or a claw or a horn, but it was actually a piece of coral which is called horn coral. I was really excited about what it really was.” Sid's father was able to identify the horn coral through a fossil group he is a member of on Facebook, who could see by its markings that it is most likely a Rugosa coral, estimated to be between 251m-488m years old. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/mar/27/boy-finds-fossil-up-to-500m-years-old-in-his-west-midlands-garden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
