    Found in Australia in a river bed Exmouth. It’s super tiny but if it is a fossil it will be our first ever find! Any clue what it is?

    If it’s a fossil it could be a coral.  It could however be an igneous rock like pumice. Test the rock with some weak hydrochloric acid (also called Muratic acid dilute to 5 percent. If it fizzes it’s more likely to be a fossil.

    Also check with a museum or school.
