<p class="MsoNormal">Is it far away from the ocean ? can you tell wheher it's rather calcium carbonate than phosphate ? The second picture here lets me remember of some invertebrate constructions. Unfortunatley, I have even not a simple broken cuttle-fish "bone"/shell
to go on that way of investigation.<br>

Dear all, <br>
<br>
We found this round artifact in an upper paleolithic site. I would like to hear your opinions about the identification of the raw material. The images were taken with a binocular microscope.
<br>
Thank you. <br>
