Found a fossil on the beach. I know these pictures are slightly blurry, but its the best I could put on.

To me it looks like an orange, but fossilised, or maybe a starfish. ( I'm not a fossil expert, but I did ask one, and he didn't have a clue)

It does look like a fossilized orange. I wonder what it really is? What area of the world is the beach? You could also use a better camera if you can afford it, or learn more about the one you have to focus it. I use a Panasonic Lumix 2 megapixel with a Leica lens. It was expensive when I got it but I see comparable cameras at rummage sales for cheap. Everybody wants higher megapixel cameras now, I like better lenses myself. Ask somebody to show you how to use your present camera if you can't understand the poorly written instructions that come with everything now. I had my daughter show me, and learned to reset it to factory settings after she uses it because she changes settings for special pictures and forgets to change them back.
