Reposted by North 02Dr Matt Pope @mattpope.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Sometimes we see fossils in stone artefacts, but rarely are the specimens as perfect as this echinoid, exposed in a flint flake knapped by an early Neanderthal 480,000 years ago. In this case it was left behind with other waste flakes, but was it noticed? did they have a name for them? #FlintFriday 1441072
