Huh? Plenty of places have geology where the rocks were formed under ancient oceans and are full of sea fossils.

Maybe. But I don’t see anything in this piece that says that it’s a fossil, rather than something that resembles this person’s idea of a fossil. It doesn’t look like a fossil to me. It looks like a piece of rock that’s been bashed about a bit.

And given the whole premise of the piece is “this should not be here!” I don’t really understand the point you’re making. The author says it’s a strange find in that area - so either they have a valid point or they don’t.

I don’t know if it’s a fossil. It doesn’t look like a fossil to me. I’m not a fossil expert. The only way to tell if it is a fossil is to do some analysis on the actual specimen before writing screeds about what it might or might not be based on visual similarity.

Author points out themselves, in the second paragraph, that its not a strange find. The strangeness of the find is his personal experience. Not that its a strange find geologically.

If we're going to rate annoying takes on the internet, "some guy who knows nothing about a topic being snarky because AI was involved" is far worse than somebody doing something with AI.

Guy?

And I think you’re arguing yourself into a hole here.

What makes you think I know nothing about the topic? I have donated - at their request - three fossils to national museums.

But I’m not an expert by any stretch.

It’s obvious you’re not an expert at the topic because we can all read the original article and then read your posts in this thread…
