There’s a picture with a bunch of different bullets if you scroll down a bit.

I managed to find that it’s a British 2 ringed bullet from the 1860s during the American civil war

I thought it was a fossil at first :/

😂😂😂

Weird fossil

😂

ah, yes. Trilobita Bulletus, a great wartime general of the Arthropod division of the southern confederate states.

😂

We fought for the right to roll in a ball, but were defeated at the battle of arthropodusburg

@a-trilobite what nationality are you?

U.S.A (united states of arthropods)

U.K.

Or England

How’d you find an American civil war bullet then?

Dunno

I did read up they were being imported overseas

Well the British did give war materials to the Confederates, so I guess you found one of the bullets they were shipping?

Southampton is near where I live and it’s a big place for trade over here on importing and exporting. The titanic was built there and would have sailed out of the Solent up north.

Sorry no, it did come and leave Southampton

It set sail from there

And then was inevitably lost to the north Atlantic

Is is possible for a shipwreck to become fossilized? eventually there will things like fossilized buildings, cars, houses, and random items like bottles and staplers. It’s an interesting thought.

Possibly as trace fossils

Although they are built out of materials

The Mary Rose (Henry VIII’s vessel built to battle the french) was sunk by an intake of water in the solent and lay there for about 400 years. Until in the 90s what was left was pulled out the water and put in a museum in gun wharf at the historic dockyard

😂👍😂

Lol I never thought I’d get a history lesson on myFossil. I’m not complaining though.

@bill-heim

It will be 46 million years old putting it in the time period of the middle Eocene

Striatolamia macrota. I have seen one pushing 3 inches and I have one that is over 2. So yes.
