[NHCOLL-L:5889] Geology specimen identification

[Ashley Henderson]

Dear list,
We had a woman offer a donation which she says a geologist identified as a fulgurite.  I have attached an image of the specimen.   Our only staff member with a small background in geology says this is not a fulgurite and it indeed does not match any image or description of one that we can find.  However, she cannot identify what it actually is.  Can anyone out there identify this specimen.  It was found on a beach, partly covered in sand.  Thanks in advance for any information.

Best Regards,

Ashley
